Facts About Consumption.

The Melbourne 'Age' says :—"Hayter's figures show that consumption causod 1,384 deaths in 1885, being 25 more than in 1884, and 172 more than in 1883, and that during that time it has killed more than 13 to every 10,000 of the population. This is almost as largo a proportion as obtains in Great Britain, and it shows that climatic conditions have not so much to do with the disease as is popularly supposed, and that it is just as difficult to stamp it out in the soft lonian weather of these southern lands as it is in the fog-charged atmosphere of London, where, according to the sarcasm of the Frenchman, a fine day only differs from a murky one as locking up a chimney differs from looking down one." Now, then, we are prepared to show that over half the cases of consumption are really nothing but the effeot of kidney poison working in the substance of the lung. Bead a timple illustration. Dip the tip end of your finger in a strong acid. Soon the flesh will be burned away, and then will follow a festering sore. Wash this sore every minute of every hour of the day (as the kidney-poisoned blood does the lungs) with even the mildert sort of an acid, and in a short time it will eat away and eventually rot off the entire hand and Precisely this condition of things exists in the lungs. Kidney poison is called uric acid, of which there is formed in the body every day enough to kill two men if taken in a single doss. A tenderness develops, either because of hereditary lung weakness, or because of tho taking of a violent cold. The kidney acid immediately attacks this, the weakest point in the system, and it soon becomes inflamed, and the person worries just a little about it. After a while he goes to his doctor, who puts him on cod liver oil to keep up his strength, which night sweats and constantly-increasing cough have impaired. But the kidney poison is doing its work every every hour, every day and night, and by-and-bye one lung is either solid with pus, or has been entirely coughed out. Then comes another of many hemorrhages, and soon our friend is very pale, breathes very short, gives' forth a gUssy stare from the eye, and, protesting every day that he "feels stronger, and will soon be out again "; he suddenly loses breath, and is gone. -After, death, examination discloses the fact that the kidney poison, the, terribleurioaoldj 'has done Its work fat too well, for it has rotted and flOgpletely 'eaten, up the substance of ewh tm r l .,;';.'^/'^i.:.-' l iw. :: v

What is the conclusion ? No person who has reason to fear consumption, either by inheritance or acquirement, should hesitate for a single hour as to his course of action. It is impossible to effect a cure of consumption, or any well-seated lung disease, if the blood is corrupted with tho kidney poison, or uric acid. It is, however, possible, and has been done in thousands of cases, to prevent and cure fatal lun" troubles, coughs, fevers, pneumonia, and consumption by ridding the blood of all its kidney poison or uric acid. It is tins wonderful and exclusive power of Warner's safe cure that hai given new hope and new life to so many, mai.y thousands who had evidently been selected to fill a consumptive's grave, and would have been there to-day but for the victory they won over their disease—not by their doctor's cod liver oil doses, but by that wonderful remedy, Warner's safe cure. To all who fear death In csnsumptlon's Kha9tly form, we come with the assurance that if your lungs are wasting away under the influence of tho dreadful uric acid, our Warner's safe cuio, by neutralising and removing this acid as fast as it is formed, will carry it out through nature s chaunels, and thereby relieve the weakened lungs. . . It is with a deal of comfort and satisfaction that we make this statement to tho world of consumptivos. We do not profess to cure advanced consumption by Warner's safe cure, but we do say that all forms of lung irritation and inflammation caused by kidney acid (and such forms include consumption, phthisis, pneumonia, lung fever, etc.) can be prevented, and, if taken in time, cured by generous use of Warner's safe cure, and our position is verified by the personal experience of thousands of biiffcrsrs You. man or womaD, threatened with consumption, try this philosophical and sucoesrful treatment. It c*n do you no harm. It may save your life.
