DRAINS WORKING BADUS The writer of the letter to which I em about to ask your attention livein Cork, Ireland. If, the next time he visits Dublin, he will lean over the balustrade of any of the bridges that cross the Liffey, his nose will inform fcim that a very foul stream runs beneath. In other words, the river is a sort of open drain to the city, and contains what we might expect. The Thames in London is not much better, although no longer used directly for sewage purposes. The point I want to emphasise is tliis: that all animal life produces waste matter which, as such, is dangerous to health, and must be got rid of as quickly and thoroughly as possible. That is why all well-regulat-ed cities have elaborate and efficient systems of drainage. Very well. So much is plain. Now, the human body has such a system too, and when it doesn't work well, the dead, used-up, and poisonous stuff (more or less of it) remains in the body and sets going a lot of mischief. If you don't think so, it is because you haven't studied the subject or observed the operations of your own physical machinery. Once upon a time something went wrong with this important apparatus In Mr Cadden's body, and it led to an experience on his part which he has no wish to have repeated. "For over ten years," he goes on to •gay, "I suffered from disease of the kidneys. I had excrutiating pain in the back and the lower part of niy *ft_y." [Of course; because the kidneys are situated in the loins, the best place for the work they have to do. There are two of them, connected together, shaped like a bean, and about four inches long by three inches' broad. There they lie, imbedded in fat; and their condition is an important index to the health of the owner. They are full of nerves also, and when diseased ere sure to cause the keen pain Mr Cadden speaks of.] "The secretion," he continues, "was very scant, and I suffered gr .at pain in voiding it, sometimes blood coming away. I got into a low and depressed condition as year after year passed by, and I found myself growing worse and worse. What I suffered it is impossible to describe, and I never looked for being ;v. ell again in this world." [Our friend's fears were well founded —much better than he realised, probably. Men die of, that complaint almost like sheep with the murrain, and even skilled doctors are shy of taking charge of a bad case of it.] "From time to time," Mr Cadden says,. "I was obliged to leave my work, as the gnawing*pain was more than I could bear. I saw doctor after doctor, and went-into the hospital, but cone of the medicines eased me. "In June, 1894, I read about Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and got a bottle from the Drug Stores, Pem-broke-street, and after taking it was So much better that I felt quite another man. I continued with this medicine, and all the pain gradually left me. When I had taken three bottles I was completely cured, and have since been in the best of health. I feel truly grateful for what Mother Seigel's Syrup has done for me, in having saved me from a life of misery. You can publish this statement, and refer any one to me. (Signed) J. Cadden, 2, Buckingham Place, Cork, Ireland, August ISth, 1896." It is the business of the kidneys to .take certain waste and worn-out matters from the blood, and expel them ifrom the body through the bladder, tetc. They are a vital part of the drainage system I spoke of. In Mr Cadden's case, as in so many others, they partially failed, and the retained poisons produced his suffering. Still (and please get a good hold of ibis point), kidney complaint is only one of a series of organic disorders, all of which arise from chronic dyspepsia. It was so in this instance. The digestive trouble having been set right by Mother Seigel's Syrup, the kidneys jsoon became healthy. One—and only tone—of the peculiar virtues of this famed preparation is its power to maintain in good working order the delicate and very important excretory, or drainage, system of the body. a, i in ' ' =" MEDICAIi.
