IN THE GOOD OLD TIMES.

By "YOTJT_Did the good old times, which we" _ often hear the praises of from onr elderly relatives and friends, ever Beany exist* Perhaps the judgment of these enthusiast, is obscured by the glamour always lent by distance Perhaps, too. their pntees __, quickened by recollections of _«_ youth, when the world was new to them and all things seemed good, that they foe. get all but the roseate streaks and «_ to remember the shadows. ""'** To us. who read descriptions of the kind of life endured by people, not only in An_tralasia, out in the old world, tttj or seventy years ago, it seems incredible that anyone can call those times "good." „, void were they of things which we nowlook upon as necessities. Fancy, for in.; stance, getting up on a cold morning aad fnmbllng about with flint, steel and __„ before a Are could be started. 'Wiy, _~ very thought makes one's spine creep! Of the use of steam people knew but little, and electricity was merely a toy of the chemist. The useful applications of Scientt. which are now so common that we take them for granted, were unkoowa. Surgical operations were attended by enormous risk, and medical comforts and efficient nursing, now so easily obtainabla, were ii." most unprocurable. Education was a-lux-ury available only to a small minority of people, and the means of dissemlcatißr knowledge and information were restricted. Even in these present days, when it lg jo easy for anyone to become enlightened on almost any subject, soeh complaints _ rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, lumbago, sciatica, blood disorders, anas—ta, indigestion, biliousness, jaundice, tick headache,, general debility, gravel, stone and bladder troubles are apt to be treated as specSSe; diseases instead of as disorders caused, ja. most cases, by the retention In the systemof uiic acid and other urinary a_d binary poisons which would nave been duly „.; moved from the body by natural channels If tbe kidneys and liver had been actinic actively and efficiently.

The kidneys of tbe average person Alter' and extract from the blood about three* pints of urine every day. In this qn_tttt" of urine should be dissolved about an ounce I of urea, ten or twelve grains in weight of' uric acid, and other animal and minermatter varying from a third of an ounce to" nearly an ounce. If the kidneys are work-. Ing freely nnd healthily all this solid mat-, ter leaves the body dissolved in the urine, bnt if, through weakness or disease, the kidneys are nnable to do their work properly, a quantity of these urinary substances remains in the blood and flows through the veins contaminatlng the whole system. Then we suffer from some form of tnic poisoning, such as Rheumatism, Gout,' Lumbago, Backache, Sciatica, Persistent Headache. Neuralgla. Gravel, Stone, andBladder Troubles.

I Then we suffer from some form of nrtc i poisoning, such as Rheumatism, Gout,' j Lumbago, Backache, Sciatica, Persistent ! Headache. Neuralgia, Gravel, Stone, andj Bladder Troubles. The liver is an automatic chemical labora- . tory. In the liver various substances areI actually made from the blood. Two orI three pounds of bile are thus made ; the liver every day. The liver takes sugarI from the blood, converts it into another ; form, and stores it up so as to be able lto again supply It to the blood as the lat- | ter may require enrichment The liver- | changes uric acid, which is insoluble, intourea, which is completely soluble, and the' liver also deals with the blood corpuscles: which have lived their life and are useful no longer. When the liTer is Inactive-i*! diseased we suffer from* some form of biliary poisoning, such as Indigestion, Biliousness, Anaemia, Jaundice, Sick Head--ache. General Debility, and Blood Dig-" orders. So Intimate is the relation between the i work done by the kidneys and that doneby. | the liver, that where there Is any failure on tbe part of the kidneys, the. , liver frequently becomes affected in sympathy, and vice versa. It was the realisation of the importance of this close union of the labour of these vital organs which resulted in the discovery of the medicine now known throughout the -*-orld as Warner's Safe Cure. Certain scientists, knowing what a boon it would be to humanity if some medicine could be found which' would act specifically on both the kidDeys I and liver, devoted themselves to an exhaus- | tlve search for such a medium, and their ■ devotion was eventually rewarded by their : success in compounding a medicine which possesses the required quality. Thls-medl-' | cine is now known as Warner's Safe Cure Warner's Safe Cure exhibits a marvellous healing action in a-1 cases of functional or chronic disease of the kidneys and liver, nnd restoring them, as It is able to do, to health and activity, it of necessity cafes all complaints due to the retention in the' system of urinary aud biliary poisons. A vigorous action of the kidneys and liver naturally eliminates the poisons, and troubles due to the presence of the poisons cease. Cures effected by Warner's Safe Cure Is sold by chemists and storekeeper everywhere, both in the original (5/-) bottles, and In the cheaper (2/6) "Concentrated." non-al—olic form. • -1
