UNDER OATH

An "Id lawyer says that many men, whose common conversation can generally be relied on, are prone to prevaricate when they are placed und j r oatb. In common conversation they h>tve no reason to tell anything but the truth. When under oath there are generally influences favoring deviation from the line of exact accuracy. These influences are stronger thau their conscientious regard for truth on its own account, or their fear of any penalty that might follow exposure, the danger of which is slight. Sj tht-y sweii* to what is not true. Most men, however, can be de pendeJ on to tell the truth, on the wilu^ss stand or off, in matters which are of moment tv their fellows. The majority of men are honest; they will not willingly do any great injustice to their fellow travellers along life's highway, but ou the contrary, are glad to assist in making the journey pleasant and profitable. There are very few men indeed, no matter what cynics may B*y, who will put themselves out to work injury to others ; but hundreds may be found any day who will go out of their way, cheerfully and gladly, to say or do something they have reason to believe will assist or comfort those who are unfortunate. It is because of th.is prevailing sentiment in our civilised Christian community that tens of thousands of voluntarily testirronials are. annually received similar to iheße. W, H. M'Grlew, proprietor of Tu'can Foundry, Porth, Western Australia, December 10, 1890, writes : — Some four or five years ago I was taken with Blight's, Disease, and ray doctor held out no hope of toy recovery. I wis so close to death's door that my demibe was currently reported in town. I was aifticfc^d, with •dropsy- pains in the loins,

u?y' breath came in short gasp§, while my urine showed a large percentage of albumen. When it was expec eu that I could not live ahove a few days or hours, I began the. use of W.«rner'.-i Saf<3 Cure, Jo my complete and happy surprise, as well aa the ainaz-^uient uf my doctors, the dropsy abated, I could again breathe ij;eely,'«'ud'l;)Opes of a r-■•---cover y'dawned u'pori uv-l ' I have since continued its use, all ivy pains have left me, and my strength h*s fully returned. I owe my present existence to its use. Yiiin, West Australia, sth January, 1891. — Some six years ago my health was prostrated, and I had to give up work, being then engaged in mining pursuits in Broken Hill. Afcer consul tin^ the leading doctors in Adelaide, I was informed th it lead poisoning bad set in, and also that I was afflicted with the dread Bright's disease of the kidneys. Being urged to try Warner's Safe Cure I did so, and with the use of lour bottles there was a marked improvement ; when I had taken 16 bottles, I had fully recovered my health and strength. J. T. O'Donnell, Mining Prospector. Persons who have been afflicted naturally feel for the afflictions of others ; thus practically do they attest the sincerity of their sympathy.
