CUBE FOR GRAVEL AND STONE.

When thcro is a sediment liko brickdust in the urine it h an indication that the kidneys are .not doing their work properly, and immediate steps should bo taken to restore their healthy action. If this precaution is neglected, tho particles may gradually become larger, and the miserable suffering caused by Gravel or Stone result. Stones aro usually formed in tho kidneys, and descend thence into the bladder. They are composed of uric acid, or of oxalate of lime—solid matter which should bo held in solution in tho. fluids of tho body, and bo passed off in a dissolved condition in tho urine. Uric acid stone ia by far tlio commonest kind.

When a stono Is formed in a kidney, great pain in tho loins is felt, and this becomes agonising when tho stone leaves tho "kidney and passes through ono of tho narrow channels leading to tho bladder. The pain then experienced is known as Kidney Colic. It ceases when tho stono reaches tho bladder.

Once in the bladder, tho stono may bo passed off with the urine, or it may remain and becomo larger by tho accumulation of deposit*. Sometimes a stono will form in tbo bladder by tho simple gathering together of particles of gravel. Persons of all ages may Buffer from stono or gravel. Even little children are not oxempt. When a stone, formed in the kidneys, i 3 too largo to pass through the passage leading to the bladder, the passago becomes closed, dropsy sets in, and tho patient may die in a few hours. When stones remain long in the bladtier they grow to a great size, sometimes as large as an orange, and they frequently have to bo cut out. Tho rational method of treatment is to correct tho action of tho kidneys, thereby removing tho cause. In a hoallliy condition of the kidney 3 and urinary system the water holds tho solids in solution until it escapes from the body. In disease the solids aro deposited in the kidneys and bladder.

From Mr. Hans Nilsen, 207, Millerstreet, North Sydney, N.S.W., 19th October, 1911.

“ For years I suffered very severely from my kidneys. I had excruciating pain in the back and in my sides. My urine would often bo full of a brick-dust-like sediment which caused me great pain v/bilo urinating. My appetito was very fickle, and I was much reduced in flesh. When I commenced to take Warner’s Safe Cure I was indeed in a very weak state of health, and disinclined for any kind of exertion. My sleep was very much disturbed by the pains in my back and bead. 1 took several bottles of Warner’s Safe Cure, and that medicine completely arid effectually cured me. I have had no troublo since, and for my present good health I give the credit wholly to Wax r,er's Safe Curs.” From l\lrs. J. Thompson, 583, Hannanstreet, South Kalgoorlie, W.A., 2nd November, 1911. “I suffered with my kidneys and from gravel a short time ago and was getting very run down in health. The doctor who attended me regularly advised me, to undergo an operation. At times the pain was so intense that I had to have morphia injected which gave me temporary relief only. A friend recommended mo to tako Warner's Safe Cure, and after taking several doses, I began to feel better. When I had taken the contents of four bottles the symptoms of my complaint completely left me.” From Mrs. E. Peiren, 11, Vino-3treet, lied fern, Svdney, N.S.W., 14th March, 1910'

“My son suffered for nearly six months from 6evero kidney complaint. I took him to several well-known Sydney doctors without good result. Some of the doctors said that ho had gravel, but their medicine did him no good. I decided to try Warner’s Safe Cure. In fill, lie took three small bollleeful when he was thoroughly restored to health. 1 cannot speak too highly of Warner l Safe Cure for kidney complaint.” Warner’s Safe Cure for tho kidnoys and liver is sold by chemists and storekeepers everywhere, both in the original (ss) bottles and in tho cheaper (2s" Gd) “Concentrated,” non-alcohoU» form.
