IS LIFE WORTH LIVING?

■ (By "Philo.") To almost every one there occur times when the question whether life is worth living thrusts itself upon them, but there are, fortunately, very few who 1 come to a negative- conclusion and decide to anticipate nature by hurrying "behind tho veil." , • To those in the possession of buoyant health the questioh 'occurs ' but seldom, but there are so many 1 people who aro never in thorough health, and others who suffer from pain arid sickness, that to them— the far larger class— iho vital question is apt to -intrude itself frith persistency. ' It is remarkable how. many pooplii suffer fr&m pain and sickness which" they could readily be cured Of if they wero aware pf the cause of their, trouble. Of course ,thero are diseases Wrrfch. cannot bo cured, but such disorder? as fheumatism, gout, neuralgia, lumbago,' backache, sciatica-, blood disorders,* nnmrnia, indigestion, biliousness, jaundice, sick headache, general debility, gravel, stono, bladder troubles, and Bright's diseaso are all curable. Qno and ail atise from a diseased or' inactivp condition of tho kidneys and liVer. When the kidneys and liver arp 1 working actively and in harmony, uric and .biliary poisons aro thrown off from tho system in a natural manner, and as it is the presence of those poisons in tho blood which causes the suffering entailed by any of the complaints mentioned, tho , romoVal of tho .poisons means the consequent cessation of pain and suffering. Tho kidneys of the average person filter and extract from tho blood about three pints of urinq every day. Ih this qiiantity of' urine should be dissolved about an ounce '6f urea, ten or twelve grains in Weight of uric acid, and other animal and mineral matter varying from a third of an ounce to nearly an ounce. If the kidneys are ' working freely and healthily all this solid matter leave* tho body dissolved in the urine, but if, through weakness or disease, the kidneys are unable to do their work properly, a quantity of these urinary substances remains in tho blood and flown through the veins, contaminating tho whole system.' Then we suffer from some form of uri<s poisoning) such as Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Backache, Sciatica, Persistent Headache, Neuralgia, Gravel, Stone, and Bladder Troubles. A simple test" to make as to" .whether tho kidneys are healthy is to" place some urine, passed tho first thing in the morning, in a covered glass, and lot it stand until nest morning. If it is then cloudy, shows a sediment like brick-dust, is ol an Unnatural colour, •or hr-s particles floating about in 'it,' the kidneys ara weak or diseased, and steps must immediately be taken to restore Ihoir vigour, or Bright's Disease, Diabetes, or some of tho many manifestations of uric pbistming will result. , ■ > The Liver is an automatic chemical laboratory. Ih the liver various sub" stances aro actually made from tho bldod. Two of three'_ pounds of bile are thlis made by tho liver every day. The liver takes sugar -from tho blood, converts it into another form, and stores it up so as to be able to again supply it to! tho blood, as the latter may require enrichhient. The liver chariges uric acid, which is insoluble, into urea, which' is completely soUible, and the live? also deals with the blood corpuscles which have lived their life and are useful no longer. When the liver is inactive or diseased we suffer from -some form of biliary poisoning, such as' Indigestion, Biliousness, Anaemia, ■ Jaundice, Sick Jleadaohe, General Debility, and Blood Disorders. So intimate is the relation between the work done by the kidneys" and that dono by the liver that where there is ally failure on tho part of the kidneys tho liver becomes affected in sympathy, and pee versa. It was the realisation of tho importance of this close Union of the labour of these vital organs which resulted j in the discovery of tho medicine now known throughout tho world as Warner's Safe Cure. Certain medical men, knowing what a boon it would bo to humanity if some medicine ■could" bo found .which would act specifically on both the kidneys and liver, devoted themselves to an exhaustive search for such a medium, and their devotion was eventually rewarded by their success in compounding a, medicine which possesses the requited qual% in tho fullest degree. Warner's Safe •Gnr'e exhibits a marvellous healing action in all' cases of functional or chronic disease of the kidneys and liver, and ■restoring them, as it is able to do, to health and activity, it, of necessity, cures all complaints due to tho retention in tho system of urinary and biliary poisons. _ A vigorous action of the kidneys and, liver naturally eliminates the poisons, and troubles due to the presence of tho poisons cease. Cures effected by Warner's Safe Cure aro pormahent, simply'because they are natural. — Advt.
