ON TAKING TONICS.

(By "Nature.") Often, when we arc run 3own in. health and feeling low-spirited and miserable, we are recommended to "take a tonic" .Taking a tonic means that -the constitution of the blood is altered by the addition to it of some chemical matter. Many people suppose that tonics actually make new blood, but this is an impossibility. No drug or tonic can ever make a single drop of blood. Blood is derived from food, water, and fresh air, and, if these are supplied to the body in sulficicnt quantity and of proper quality, pure blood' is formed, to which any addition is unnecessary. Generally speaking, when we arc in the condition popularly known as '"run down," it is not an addition to the blood which is iorcquired, but a subtraction from it. An impajied action of the kidneys and liver has, in all probability, caused the trouble by suffering the system to retain uric and biliary matter formed by the waste of tho tissues of the body. Such waste matter, -when tho kidneys and liver arfc properly performing ' their functions, is removed from the body as fast as it is formed ; but, when the kidneys and liver are inactive or diseased, the uric and biliary matter is retained and becomes actively poisonous, causing us 'to ' suffer fiom rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, lumbago, sciatica, blood disorders, anaemia, indigestion, biliousness, jaundice, gravel, htone, bladder troubles, general debility, sirh headache, or other uric and biliary' disoiders. When we aro run down, or are suffering from many of the complaints mentioned, the rational means to adopt to restore the health to its normal condition in to take a medicine which will act beneficially upon the kidneys and liver, and enable thorn to do their duty efficiently, so that the causative poisons may be eliminated in a natural manner. The best medicine to employ to effect this object is Warner's Safe Cure. Warner' b Safe Cure acts specifically upon tho kidneys and liver. This is the reason why this valuable medicine is so unifoiiuly successful in the treatment of disoiders due lo the presence of uric and, biliary poisons in the blond. The medi-. cine merely aids nature in performing the Avork of cleansing the blood. Tn addition to the regular 5s and 2s 9d bottles of Warner's .Safe Cure, a concentrated form of the medicine is now issued at 2s 6d per bottle. Warner's S,ifc Cure (Concentrated) is not compounded with alcohol, and contains the vine number of doses as the 5s bottle of Warner's Safe Cure — If H Warner a,ii d Co. Ltd..
