NOW-A-DAYS.

♦ ' I want you to go to England to look after a matter that needs immediate attention,' said a railroad magnate to his chief secretary the other day ; ' how soon can you be ready V The answer was 'In an hour.' The young man had crossed the ocean several times, and knew what preparations were necessary. Less tl\an 50 years ago the answer woulct have been different. It took much time and money to cross the ocean in those days, and ample preparations wore necessary if any comfort on the long voyage was to he secured. 'Round the world in 80 days ' is no trick at all now, and the ordinary honeymoon 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. They know a little . bit — they have just penetrated the shell — about electricity, evidently the most potent of nature's wonderful forces. But there is a great deal more for people to learn yot. ' 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 betwgen London and New York nowadays. Nothing, is impossible. It used to be claimed that kidney disease was incurable, but in the 10 years since the introduction of Warner's safe cure thousands upon thousands of people have sent in to the proprietors of that remedy voluntaiy testimonials declaring that they have been cured, in many instances when physicians had pronounced their cases incurable. These people know that Warner's safe cure cures kidney disease, because they have been through the experience, and they are anxious their fellow beings should be benefited as they havo been. These persons can be found in every community. Ask your friends and neighbors about it. See what they say: — < Wangaratta, "Victoria, May 21, 1890. Messrs PI. H. Warner & Col, 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 the 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, white 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 my urinary dilliculties to improve, and with six bottles the action of the organs was so far resorted that urination became possible without the aid of an instrument. Subsequent analysis demonstrated the efficacy of the medicine in the total disappearance of albumen. About 40 bottles of Warner's safe cure and eight vials of Warner's safe pills have entirely removed all my complaints, my weight has increased, and I consider the cure tho more startling as I am 71 years of ago. — (Signed) Wm.
