HUMAN RECKLESSNESS.

A singular feature in the make up of mankind is the recklessness of life, which at times becomes epedemic. Some foolhardy man sets the example, as did Webb in his attempt to swim the rapids of Niagara Falls, and immediately he has followers the world over who attempt dangerous feats from which no benefit, pecuniary or otherwise, can ensue. But recklessness of life is not confined alone to this class of people. We are all of us daily encountering a danger of far greater magnitude, which concealment for a time robs of its terrors. It is so insidious in its approach, fastening itself with a deadly grip on the body before any palpable evidence is exhibited that the vitality is sapped, our constitutions undermined, and we are made wrecks, physically and mentally, before we have been alarmed. We refer to diseases of tlie kidneys, those subtle organs placed in our body to purify our blood, and in connection with our bowels, to eliminate all the waste material which the system is daily throwing off. Dr Dawson Williams says urinary diseases are becoming year by year more common, and another eminent authority says that deranged kidney action is the cause of 93 per cent, of all the diseases which afflict mankind. Dr Ralfe makes a still more astonishing statement, to the effect that if the water of people who suffer from general disease was examined 27 per cent, would be found to contain albumen. This is a startling statement, and confirms the fact that nearly every disease takes its origin from derangement of the kidneys. That the disease is and hae been on the increase since Bright cannot be doubted, but that it has become as prevalent as these statements lead us to believe seems almost impossible, and the assertions might well be doubted did they not come from snch high authority. The moral is a plain one, and is simply this : To have uninterrupted health and long life we must keep the kidneys in suoh a condition that they can perform the laborious:* function nature designed for them. How to do this is a question which for years we have looked in vain for physicians to answer. Their endeavors to discover a medicine which should have a controlling influence to prevent these disastrous results have been fruit-

less. But there is a remedy, purely vegetable, which is almost specific in its power over the kidneys, liver, and urinary organs. This remedy ia "Warner's safe cure. It has a record with whicli no other medicine can compare, and its marvellous power over disease is confirmed by a mass of evidence given daily by tbe colonial press.
