A PECULIAR DISEASE.
The fretting . and wearing cares of business, domestic relations, political life and other affairs, with laborious brain -work, social dissipation, and unhygienic habits, have caused such an increase in the number of invalids from nervous exhaustion, that this disease is now recognised as a distinct malady. Bodily health and" welfare are neglected for wealth, position, honor, and distinction. The business man, by close application to his business, hurried and irregular meals, loss of sleep and the neglect of exercise, at last finds^his health failing and himself incapable of meeting the demands on his energies. So it is with a great many people. They eat in a hurry, sleep as if in a hurry and very little, toil long and late, with little or no recreation, until failing health warns them of this sad neglect of duty. This tendency, which is becoming general, has for its outcome but one result — impairment of the physical and incapacity of the mental energies.
Ask a physician why it is, and he tells us the blood has become impure from the accumulation of effete matters and waste materials; which the kidneys have failed to carry off.
Bufc why, we ask, have the kidneys nofc performed their excreting functions 1 'Because the energies and forces of the system have been attracted in another direction by this intense application to business, and the pursuit of wealth, which has become such a battle.
Again, we atk, is there any remedy to keep these organs in a healthy condition, or any method by which poisonous products like uric acid can be eliminated from the circulation ?
. The answer is as decided as it is satisfactory. For a long time, tests and experiments were made with various remedies, but to no purpose. Afc last was found the remedy par excellence above others, Warner's- Safe Cure. This great remedy acts as a true specific for this disease, and has been repeatedly and satisfactorily tested. It not only cleanses the blood of all impurities and poisonous materials, but promotes the healthy activity of the various organs of digestion, circulation and secretion. That this remedy does produce these desirable results, is attested by its ever increasing popularity.
Long years ago, in time so remote that history does not fix the epoch, a dreadul war was waged by the King of Scotland, who elated by his successes, sent for bis prime minister, Lord Alexander. ' Weel, Sandy.' said he, ' is the ne'er a king we canna conquer noo V 1 An' it please you majesty I ken o' a king that your Majesty canna vanquish.'
• Wha is he, Sanely V
Lord Alexander looked reverently up and said, ' The King o' Heaven.' ' The King o' whaur, Sandy V
4 The King o' Heaven '
The Scottish king did not understand, but was unwilling to exhibit any ignorance.
* Just Gang your ways, Sandy, and tell the King o' Heaven to gi'e up his dominions, or I'll come mysel'/an' ding him oot o' them. And mind, Sandy, you dinna come back tae us till ye hae dune oor bidden,'
Lord Alexander retired much perplexed, but met a priest and, reassured, returned and presented himself.
' Weel, Sandy,' said the king, ' hae ye seen the King o' Heaven an' what says he to oor bidden V
' An' it pleases your Majesty, I hae seen ane o' his acredited ministers.'
' Weel, what says he V ' He says that your majesty may c'en hae"tiis kingdom for the asking o't.
* Was he sac civil V said the king, warming to magnanimity. 'Just gang your ways back, Sandy, and tell the King o 7 Heaven that for his civility that deil a Scotchman shall set foot in his kingdom.
