UNDER OATH.

An old lawyer says that ninny men, whose common conversation can generally be relied ou, fire prone to prevaricate when they uru placed under oatb. In common conversation they have nu 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 than their oouseientious regard for tiuth ou its owu account, or their fear of any penalty that might follow exposure, the danger of which is slight. So they swear to what id not true. Most men, however, can be de pended on to tell the truth, on the witness stand or off, in mattora which are of moment to their fellows. Tho majority of men are honest; they will not willingly do any great injustice to their fellow travellers along life's highway, but on tho contrary, are glad to assist in making the journey pleasant and profitable. There are very few men indeed, no matter what cyaicd may say, who will put themselves out to work injury to others ; but hundieds may be founr! any day who will go out of their way, cheerfully and gladly, to say or do something they bave reason to be~ lieve will assist or comfort those who are unfortunate. It is because of this prevailing sentimer.t in our civilised Christian community that tens of thousands of voluntarily testimonials are annually received similar to these. W. H. M'Grlew, proprietor of Vulcan Foundry, Pm-th, Western Australia, December 10, 1890, writes : — Some four or five years ago I waa taken with Briglit's Disease, and my doctor held out no hope of my recovery. I whs so close to death's door that my demise was currently reported in town. I was afflicted with dropsy, pains in the loins, my breath came in short gasps, while my urine showed a large percentage of albumen. When it was exuected that I could not live above a few days or hours, I began the uso of Warner's Safe Cure. To my complete and happy surprise, as well as the amazement of my doctors, the dropsy abated, I could again breathe froely, and hopes of a recovery dawned upon me. I have since continued its use, all my pains have left me, and my strength has fully returned. I owe my present existence to its use. Yum, West Australia, sth January, 1891. — Some six years ago my healch was prostrated, and I had to give up work, being then engaged in mining pursuits in Broken Hill. After consulting the leading doctors in Adelaide, I waa informed that lead poisoning bad set in, and also that I waa 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 tour bottles there waa a marked im» provement ; when I had taken 16° bottles, I had fully recovered my health and strength. J, T. O'Donnell, Mining Prospector. Persona who have been afflicted naturally feel forthe afflictions of others; thus practically do they attest the sincerity of their sympathy. I
