TYPHOID.

— = « _ While the whole community is deeply interested in the alarming spread of this fatal disease, it is amazing to contemplate the fearful amount of indifference "exhibited with regard tc its dangers. Whether it is communicated to the human frame by • microbes, 1 ' bacilli,' 1 or more simply speaking by germs,' it seems agreed that improved sanitation is the main remedy for preventing its propogation. This indeed has been clearly proved by the remarkably good results obtained in. England since attention has been given to strict sanitary law, and it behoves every householder or occupier of a dwelling in these colonies, to keep this fact in view, and act accordingly with respect to his own premises and its surroundings. So long, however, as individuals have no control over their neighbors' proceedings, and the authorities are inactive, so long will liability to the disease be perpetuated. Under these circumstances, we have to look for the next best thing to be clone, and bearing in mind that the state of the physical system is an important factor in relation to susceptibility to the ' germ,' it should become a matter of constant and watchful care that the tone of the system be kept up to good form. It not unfrequently occurs that persons habitually healthy and vigorous, begin at times to feel a degree of lassitude and disinclination to exertion, and a sensation of ' tiredness,' without any apparent cause. This may arise from the disorganization of some important functional part of the internal economy — it may be the liver or the kidneys that are not properly performing their office. The result is the communication of poisonous acids to the blood, and this becoming vitiated, the disposition to ' housing ' the germ of typhoid will be the result, whereas, if the impairment did not exist, the germ probably would not find lodgement. Therefore whatever tends to keep the organs in their normal condition, is the best antidote to typhoid, and for this there is nothing equal to Warner's Safe Cure, which has been thoroughly tested by tens of thousands, and incontestibly proved to act as represented when taken according to directions. By keeping the kidneys in healthy action the blood is rendered pure and the whole tone of the system strengthened and invigorated, Safe Cure does it.
