THE CZAR IN DISTRESS.

•' Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." A jouhnAl published at Munich announces, apparently on good authority, that the rocent illness of the Czar, which was attfi butedtoan attempt at poisoning him or the part of Nihilists, is due t6 an abtafek ol epilepsy. The Czar, it is stated, is subject to such attacks sihee the occurrence bf tli_ Borki railway accident* in which he narrowly escaped with his life. Such are the tidihgS cohveye'd by cable. Epilepsy toust be regarded as one of the most alilictive and stubborn of maladies The origin of the disease, if not hereditary, may be traced to terror, sudden alarm, grief, prostrated anxiety, or disorder

of the mind. In this instaneej therefore, the news cannot come as a surprise, and it is painful to contemplate that; this despotic ruler, labouring under an intractable disease, may at any time sway the destinies of Europe. Ever since his-'-accession to the thione, Czar Alexander 11. has been made a living target, whom Nihilists thought it a privilege to strike down without compunction. Considering the many attempts that have been made it seems almost inexplicable that the Russian monarch" escaped with his life. If, as the poet say 3, "v sinful heart makesfeeblehands," wehave an explanation, but it is by no mean*less remarkable that dynamite explosions and internal machines equally missed their mark, while the escape of the Imperial family from the railway disaster Was nobbing short of marvellous. While deprecating these attempted assassinations, many cannot withhold their sympathy with these fanatic victims, who, labouring under the idea that they deliver their country from an autocrat, attempt liis Hie and sacrifice their own. Vain effort.! In most instances of regicide, the sceptre went into younger and stronger hands, Czar Alexander died a violent death, yet the Czar still But he is now broken down physically and mentally. What a lesson lies in hia fate, fraught with such bitter experience, for do we not see in every day life continually depicted results of anxiety or over-work aYflotig ail classes and conditions of men ? The i_o£'ueht advocate of people's rights, the fervid preacher of the Gospel, the mariner exposed to the rages of the storm and sea,, the mechanic bent double in his workroom —all are liable to

disease. Mo.ft diseases, ib is known, emMate from disorder of Kidneys and liver. The problem of health lies, therefore, in the 1 wisdom of restoring these" organs to their' proper action. There is a remedy which rejuvenates the eofigtitotioh, and efcayfl' off the emoaching infirmities of age. That remedy is Warner's Safe Cure. Read the annexed attestations, which will dispel any doubfc Mr Hugh Taylor, M.L.A., states: — " Parramatta,N,S« W.r December 6th, 1889. —For three or four years I have suffered most severely from rheumatic pains in the Jk*ft svde and foot, for which I took a:number of medical preparations without experiencing any amelioration in my conditiom Now, twelve Smooths since your remedies

were favourably introduced to my notice. | After using one bottle of Warneß's Safe Cure, followed by one bottle of Warneß'3 Safe Rheumatic Core, taken in conjunction with one vial of the Saee Pills, my pains promptly ceased, and there has been no reaction of my complaint to the present time."

The Rev. Jos. Bowes, Charters Towers (Q.), testifies, under date September 12th, 1889:—'For the past ten years I have suffered greatly from disease of the liver and pains in region of the liver and heart. I also was affected with iudigestion and its train of complaints, for which I took a number of medicines without derivine any benefit. Six months ago I first hesrd of the merits of Warner's Safe Cure, when I procured it, with the result that fifteen bottles have almost entirely removed my suffering, which at times has been most intense.'

Mr James Smith, Master Mariner, Bluff Point, N.Z., says:—"For 20 years. I have suffered from disease of the kidneys, causing periodically such severe pains in the back, hips and thighs, that I felt entirely prostrated. My digestive faculties were so weak that I waa often unable to retain any food in the stomach. My urine was loaded with sediment, and micturating was accompanied by sudden onsets of pain. lithe evenings swelling of the lower extremities of my limbs set in. subsiding again in the morning. In this miserable condition, physically, with no prospect of recovery, I commenced tho use of Warner's Safe Cure and Safe Pills. After the use of a few bottles I was amazed, at the result, for my pains vanished and my water became perfectly cl; ir. I have consumed ,«ome 24 bottles of. Warner's Safe Cure with about 10 vials of the Safe Pills. My health is better than at any other period during the past two decades."

Mr John Oliver writes as under, date Sydney, January 9th. 1890 : —" I urn a mechanic ; working tho electric light at Robert's Hotel, and owing to the precarious nature of my calling have suffered from obstruction nnd swelling of the liver, disorder of the kidneys, and its concomitant complaints, such as wandering pains, dizziness, ahd unbearable headaches. I hava tried many medicines to no purpose. After the use of five bottles of Warner's Safe Cure, with a few vials of the Safe Pills, my suffering was a thing of the pa«t."

Thus the efficacy of this wonderful remedy is daily borne out by the evidence of grateful men in every sphere of life—for disease is no respecter of persons ; all are subject to it, from the humble peasant to the privileged few who wear a coronob or au Imperial crown.
