DRAINS WORKING BADLY.

The writer of the letter to which 1 am about to ask your attention lives in Cork, Ireland. If, the next time he visits Dublin, be will lean over tire balustrade of any of the bridges that cross the Liffey, his nose will inform him that a very foul stream runs beneath. In other words, the river is a sort of open drain to the citj, and contains what we might expect. The Thames in London is not much better, although no longer used •directly for sewage purposes. The point 1 want to emphasise is this : that all animal life produces waste matter Which, as such, is dangerous to health, and must be got rid of asqui kly and thoroughly as possible. That is why all well-regulated cities have elaborate and efficient systems of drainage. Very well. So much is plain Now, the human body has such a system too ; and when it doesn’t work well, the dead, usedup, and poisonous stuff (more or less of it) remains in the body and sets going a lot off mischief. If you don’t think so, it is because you haven’t studied the subject or observed the operations of your own physical machinery. Once upon a time something went wrong with this important apparatus in Mr Cadden's holy, and it led no an experience on his part which he lias no wish to hive repeated. “ For over too years,” ho goes n to say, “I suffered from disease of the kidneys. I 'had excruciating pain in the back and the lower part of my hotly.” rQf course ; because the kidneys are situated in the loins, the best place for the ■work they h.rve to do. There arc two of them, connected together, shaped like a bean, and about four inches long by three inches broad. There they lie, imbedded in faf and their condition is an important index’ to the health of the owner. They are full of nerves also, and when diseased are 3rre to cause the keen pain Mr Cadden speaks of.] “ Hie secretion,” ho continues, was very se nt, and I suffered great pain in voiding it, sometimes blood coming away. Ig t into a low and depressed condition as year after wear pass, d by and I found myself growing worse and worse. What I suffered it is impossible to describe, and I never looked for being well again in this world.” ronr fraud’s fears well founded-much better than ho realised, probably. Men die g)f that complaint almost like sheep with the murrain, and even skilled doctois me shy ol taking charge of a had case of it.] • ‘From time to time,” Mr Cadden says, “I was obliged to leave my work, as the gnawing pain was more than I could leal. I saw doctor after doctor, and went into the hospital, but none of the medicines eased June, IS9L I read about Mother Seigd’s Curative Syrup, and got a bonk from the Drug Stcr-s, Pembroke Street, and after taking it was so much bettci that I felt quite another man. I continued with this medicine, and all the pain gradually left me. \theii I had taken three bottles 1 was completely cured, and have since been in the best of health. I feel truly grateful for what Mother Seicel’s Syrup has done for me, in having saved me from a life of mis’ery. You can publish this statement, and refer any one to me. (Signed) J. Cadden, 2, Buckingham Place, Cork, Ireland, August ISth, ISIKS. ’ It is tiie business of the kidneys to take certain waste and worn-out matters from the blood, and expel them from the body through the bladder, etc. ihey are a vital “part of the drainage system I spoke of. In Mr Caddeu’s case, as in so many oibers, they partially failed, and the retained poisons produced his suffering. Still (and please get. a good hold of this point), kidney complaint is only one of a series of organic disorders, all of which arise from chronic dyspepsia. It was so in tins instance. The digestive trouble having been set right by Mother Seise! s Syrup, the kidneys soon became healthy. One and only one—of the ptculiar virtues of tins famed preparation is its power to maintain in good working order the delicate and very important excretory, or drainage, system of £he body.
