SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST.

* Somebody said somewhere at some time ' That men, nations, and things could learn the lesson of life from the Ephenera — the insects of a summer day which are born and breathe and die,' and to a great extent this is true. Man's is a little longer than the day of the house fly ; that is all, and what is true of him is true of many of his works. There are nourishing in Australasia now many financial institutions, grpat newspapers, and commercial establishments, which being independent of any one man, having outlived the men who made them, and will probably continue, changeless to the end of civilization. There are others which were as unstable as the men who made them, and have long since disappeared in the general ruin. And there have been medicines without inherent virtue, which have sprung into notice, deluded a few unfortunate sufferers with the promise of a cure, and subsided into the long list of dead failures. Anything can live for a year or two. You may delude some of the people, as Abraham Lincoln said, for a timp, but you cannot delude all the people all the tiir.p. Now Warner's Safe Remedies are advertised on their sterling merit, and by the fact that they are made and sold on honor. Fourteen years ago these medicines were- first placed on the market ; every year since then has seen a wider and constantly increasing use of them — because they are in the world of medicines what the Bank of England is to the world of finance. Mr M. Sharkey, of Norwood, S.A., writes to H. H. Warner and Co., on May 23, 18.93, adding his quota to a huge mass of testimony of which the following is an abstract : Dear Sirs, — I have to thank Warner's Safe Cure that I am alive and enjoying good health to-day. Five years ago I was stricken down by some disease of which the first symptoms were great weakness, emaciation, and excruciating pains over the whole body. The malady increased at an alarming rate, doctors were called in and consultations held, and I was removed to the hospital in order to get better attention. It was then decided that I was suffering from Bright's disease. I remained under treatment until at length the medical men decided they could do no more for me, recommend- I iug me t.o go home and prepare for tho worst, and indeed I cared very little what the end might bp, I was so weak and miserable. At this time a friend who had heard of some wonderful chips by the use of Warner's Safe Cure, procured for me a bottle of that medicine and some Safe Pills, and I commenced their use. After taking five bottles I could feel that I was recovering strength every day. I continued for several months with the raed.'cine until I had regained my former strength and energy. I seem to have a new lease of life and feel altogether a new man, able to attend to business, and am stronger and better than I have been for many years. I have often said that Warner's Safe Cure is worth not only five shillings out five hundred shillings a bottle, being quite convinced that it was the means of saving me from an early grave, while language cannot express my gratitude for what it has done for me. I travel a good deal in South Australia and never fail to recommend the medicine to any one I know to be suffering from kidney disease.
