li l want you to go io England to look after a matter that needs immediate attention," said a railroad magnate to hia chief Secretary the other dny ; " how soon can you be ready ?" The answer was, "in an hour." The young man had crossed the ocean several times and knew what, preparations were necessary.
Less than fifty years ago the answer would have been different. It took crutch time and money to cross the ocean in those days, and ample preparations were nocessiry if any comfort on the long voyage was to be secured " Round the world in eighty days " is no trick at all now, and the ordinary honey moon trip will, in a few years, doubtless include the circumnavigation of the globe
Of course people know a great deal more than they used to !
Yes, about some things. They know a great deal more about steam power, and its practical uses. TJioy know a little bit — they have just penetrated the shell — about Klectricity, evidently the most potent of nature's wonderful f >rce-\ But there is a great deal more for people to learn yet. " How about flying across the ocean ? People laughed about the ocean cable onee — what, telegraph under the sea, nonsense! " but half a dozen cables are needed for the daily correspondence between London and New York now-a-days. Nothing is impossible. It used to bo claimed that Kiduey disease was incurable, but in ten years since the introduction of Warner's Safe Cure, thousands upon thousands of people have sent in to the proprietors of that remedy, voluutary testimonials declaring that they have been cured, in mauy instances when physicians pronounced their cises incurable. These people know that Warner's Safe Cure cures .Kidney disease, because they have been thiough the experience, and they are anxious their fellow beings should be benefited as they have been. These persona can be found in every community. Ask your friends and neighbors about it. See what they say : — Wangaratta, Victoria, Miy 21, 18 ( J0, Messrs H. 11. Warner <fc Co. Ltd., — Gentlemen, " It is probably 20 years since I first began to suffer from congestion of the liver and an obscure disease of the bladder, as Doctors described it. A few years ago additional complications set in, and finally the symptoms left no room for doubt that Bright's disease of the kidneys had obtained a firm hold, while the bladder complaint was of the most painful nature, and necessitated the removal of the water by artificial means, i became reduced to almost a shadow of my former self, and from weakness, despite every care taken, came into the most deplorable state. After resorting to the use of Warner's Safe Cure, I found ;ny urinary difficulties to improve, and with six bottles the aclion of the orgaus was so far restored that urination became possible without the aid of an instrument. Subsequent analysis demonstrated the efficacy of the medicine iti the total disappearance of albumen. About 40 bottles of Warner's S.ife Cure and eight vials of Warner's Safe Pills have entirely removed all my complaints, my weight has increased, and I consider the cure the more startling as I am 71 years of agp.
