HEALTH NOTES.

(By W.S.C.)

In order that we may keep the body in tho bebt condition to \wtnatiind the daily etresa and attain of mwa.il and physical wear niid teuir, it is e»jcnti!Fl lor us all to understand something of tho various porcessus of natuio which ensure the mainiAinauce ot life. Most people do not reuli&e that it is as ueccteury to life that tho body should waste away as it is that its ftubbtauce should constantly be replaced by a sulMoieut supply of fresh air, water, aaidi fqod. Tho wasting of tho body is accomplished by tho pi eduction «f a certain quantity of used-up material, aud thks used-up or dead material must be thrown oil ffom tho body by natural means without undue delay, for if any of it is suffered to remain in the system it becomes actively poisonous, and must cause disease or doath. Upon the skin, lung<», kidneys, and Jiver reata the main roajjonsibiUty of extracting poisonous matter from the blood and removing it from the system. The moment one of those organs, through weakness or disease, becomes incapable of performing its work eflicieutly, that moment we begiu to suffer from some illness, a.nd if steps axe not taken to restore to health and activity tho organ at fault, death from some form of bloodpoisoning must ensue. The skin, a» a general thing, needs but regular treatment with gaod soap «nd water, and it will do its duty perfectly mid without complaint, lungs are vigorous organs, aud we are soon made ►ware of any interforonco with their action by a fit of coughing or a choking nonsatiou. It is tho importance- of looking well aftor the kealth of the kidneys •nd liter which wo especially desire to impress upon our readers. These organs aro the most delicate of all those engaged, in ©xtraoting and removing from the blood the waste poisons as fast as they uro produoed in tho body. Unless tho kidneys and liver are in a fit state to thoroughly perform thoir task, Uio par« ticular poiaouo wureh it is their duty to make and extract will remain in th« system, and <u», tho kidneys and liver are ©ft«n unable' to tell us directly, by a (sensation of pain, that there is anything the matter with them, we ar» probably unaware of their failure until wo begin to suffer from Rlwumatism. Gout, Ncu- i ralgia, Vumbago, Backache, Sciatica, Blood Disorders, Amentia, Indigestion, Biliousness, Jaundice, Sick Headache, General Debility, Gratel, Stone and Bladder Troubles. All thes* complaints* *re caused by the presence- in the body of urinary and biliary poisons, which, if the kidneys and liver wero acting efficiently, would have been duly removed, and we should have- been spared front suffering. The kidneys of the average person filter Rnd extract from the blood about three pints of urine every day. la thie quantity of urino should be dissolved about <v) ounca of urea, ten to twelve- grains ia weight of uric acid, and other animal nnd mineral matter varying from a- third of an ounce to nearly an ownce. If the kidneys are working freely and healthily, oil this solid matter leaves the body disBolved in the. urine, but if, throngh. weakness or disease, tbo kidneys aro unable to do their work properly, a quantity of these urinary ttubstitnces remains in the blood and flows through tho veins, contaminating the whole system. Then wo suffer from some form of uric poison* ing such as Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Backache, Sciatic** Persistent Headache, Neuralgia, Gravel, Stone, and Bladder Troubles. A simple teet to mako* a« to whether the kidneys are 'healthy is to place somo urine, passed the first thing iv the morning, in a covered glass, and let it stand until next morning. If it is then cloudy, shows a sediment like brickdust, ia of an unnatural colour, or' has particles floating) about in it, tho kidnoys are woak or diseased, and stops must immediately bo taken .to restore their vigour, or Bright's Disease, Diabetes, or Bomo of tho many manifestations of uric poisoning will res-ult. Tho liver is an automatic chemical laboratory. In the liver various substances nro actually made irorh fh* blood. Two or threo pounds of bile are thus made by the liver every day. Tbe liver lakes sugar from tho -blond, converts it into another form, and stores it up so as to bo able to again supply it to the blood, a« the latter may require enrichment. Tho liver changes urio acid, which is insoluble, into urea, which is completely soluble, and the liver also deals with the blood corpuscles which have lived their life and nro useful no longer. When tho liver is inactive or diseased ■we suffer from somo form of biliary poi•onjng such aa Indigestion, Biliousness, Ancemia, Jaundice, Sick Headache, General Debility, and. Blood Disorders. So intimate is the relation between the work dono by tho kidney and that done by tho liver, that whero there is any failure on tl{© part of the kidneys., tho liver becomes affected in sympathy and vice versa. Ifc wan the realisation of tho importance of this close uuion of the labour of those vital organs which resulted in the discovery of the m«lici»e now known throughout the world »» Warner's Safe Cure. Certain medical men, knowing what a boon it wo»ld bo to 1 htrmanity if some medicino could be found whrcb would act specifically on both tho kidneys and liver, devoted themselves to an exhaustive search for snob A medium, and their devoWon was eventually rewarded by thoir success in compounding a medicine which poseesses the roquired auaiitv in the fullest decree. Warner's Safe Cure oxhibit* a marvellous liealinq action in all cases of functional or chronic diieas© of the kidneys ard liver, and, restoring them, as it is able to do. to henWh and activity, it of neoenprty cures till complaints due to the retention in tho system of urinary and bilinrf poisonn. A vijfwrotiß action of rhft Jcidnevß nnd liv^r naturally eliminates the 'poisorn, and troubles diie to th* prcnence of th» po'sons em*©. Cures effected Iv Warner's Sate Cure are permanent aimply because rhev are natural.— Advfc.
