DRAINS WORKING BADLY.

—♦■ The writer of the letter to which 1 am about to ask your attention lives in Cork, Iraland. If, the next time he visits I'ublin, he will lean over the balustrade of any of the bridges that cross the Liffey, his nose will inform him that a very foul stream runs beneath. In o her words, the river is a sort of open drain to the city, 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 whieh, as such, is dangeious to health, and must be got rid of as qui 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 les* of it) remains in the body and sets going a lot of mis3hief. If you don't think *o, it is because you haven't-studied the subject or observed the operations of your own physical machinery. Ouce upon a time something went wrong with this important apparatus in Mr Cadden'B boiy, and it led to an experience on his part which he has no wish to have repeated. "For over ten years, he goes -n to say, «' I suffered from disease of the kidneys. I had excruciating pain in the back and the lower part of my body." [Of course ; because the kidneys are situated in the loins, the best place for the_ work they have to do. There are two of them, connected together, shaped like a bean and about four inches long by three inches broad. There they lie, imbedded in fat • and their condition is an important index' to the health of the owner. They are full of nerves also, and when diseased are mire to cause the keen pain Mr Cadden speaks of.] . "lhe secretion." he continue?, was very sent, and I suffered great pain in voiding it, sometimes blood coming away. Ig t into a low and depressed condition as year after year passed by and I found myself growing svorse, and worse. What I.suffered it is impossible to describe, an 1 I never looked for being well again in this world. [Our friend's fears well founded—much better than he realised, probably. Men die of that complaint almost like sheep with the murrain, and even skilled doctors are shy of taking charge of a bad ea:,e 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 bear. 1 saw doctor after doctor, and went into the hospital, but none of the medicines eased "In June, 1894, I read about Mother Setol'a Curative Syrup, and got a bottle from the Drug Stores, Pembroke Street, and after taking it was so much batter thatl felt quite another man. I continued with this medicine, and all the pain gradually left me. When 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 Seietl's Syrup has done for me, iu having saved me from a life of misery. You can publish this statement, _*ud- refer any one to me. (Signed) J. Gad - den 2, Buckingham Place, Cork, Ireland, August 18th, 1896." It is the 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. They are a vital part of the drainage system I spoke .of In Mr Cadden'a case, as in so many others, 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 chroi.ic dyspepsia. It was so in tins instance. The digestive trouble having been set right by Mother Seigel s byrup, the kidni ys soon became healthy "ne—and only one—of the peculiar virtues of this famed preparation is i:s power to maintain in good working order the delicate and very important excretory, or drainage, system of the body. __^__________—
