REMEDY FOR KIDNEY DISORDERS.

Mr. A. Bottcher, of the Star and Gartar Hotel,, Sturt-street, Adelaide, writes us saying :—*•' 'For ten years 1 was a great sufferer from back-ache and was under doctore' car© for the greater part "of th« time. While in agony, some two months ago, one of my friends insisted upn my trying Warriex's Safe Cure. I am pleased to say that, after taking the contents of three bottles. I found myself relieved of pain and restored to. good health. I can and will recommend Warner's Safe Cure to anyone I may know who suffers from the same complaint."

Mr. Bottcher's experience is the normal experience of those who resort for relief in ■ cases of kidney and liver disorders to Warner's Safe Cure. For over thirty years this remarkable • medicine has been doing its beneficent wpTk. If your kidneys or liver-are1 affected a few enquiries made amongst your friends and acqiuiintanoes will, np doubt, result in your hearing of cases similar to that of Mr. Bottcher. A pamphlet containing full information will, be sent post free by H. H. Warner and Co., Ltd., Australasian Branch, Melbourne Warner's Safe Cure is sold by chemists and storekeepers both in the original form and in the cheaper "Concentrated" nonalcoholic'form. . •

stone and Brookdale and Parnassus stations down to the Waiau Ford. On the north side of the Waiau River are the coach stables, on the south'side is a small township, and between them the river sweeps—a dangerous, treacherous river that has at last been bridged,^ though the bridge is not yet open for traffic, being minus its decking and approaches. As the coach hauled up at the stables a strange-looking cart drawn by a huge horse was trotting away down to the river.l As soon as fresh horses had been put in, the coach hurried after, across the dry shingle that lies between the grass banks and the .main current. At the edge of this swift stream the vehicles drew u^

All the passengers but two ladies transferred to the two-wheeled cart, which is in fact the Waiau Ferry. Built high on high wheels it. consists of a platform.nearly level' with the tops of ihe wheels. From this the shafts- project to the tall, powerful horse. -The driver's seat is on the front portion of the platform. Two passengers sit beside him; three stand behind holding on to the seat,-and the mails are thrust under the seat. With his ferry so loaded, the ferryman, a one-leggea jolly sort of man, urged the gre.at, black mare on, and she went into the river. Hollo\v and heavy her hoofs rang and scraped over the shingle. Through the wheelspokes the river foamed, but the feature of the "ferry" is its lack of under-gear which the»river could seize on were it in a murderous mood. There is no resistance to the galloping flood, and with a -powerful horse to draw it the ferry is a most effective implement. The coach took a different course across, heading up • stream so as to avoid the side pull of the river. Beneath the bridge that is soon to draw the river's fangs for ever, the rocking coach crashed on with horses girth deep in the water. With much less effort the ferry took its more direct line of transit, and the passengers were already on terra fir ma when the mail-coach hauled clear.

Here is a story of Waiau River, A teamster with sixteen horses hauling a waggon loaded with fencing-wire came to the ford when the river roared in flood. It^is^ said that he asked no man for word of ihe latest ford, for the river changes as often as the \ freshes come down. With a good stiff load to steady him the man drove into the river. In the whare at the coach stables are two pictures on the wall. One shows the waggon in the flood. The water is above the traces, the leaders seem to be. standing on their toes to keep their heads clear. It is a very pathetic photograph for anyone can see that disaster impends. The other picture^ shows the team floating high, very high, as drowned' horses do, dead in their harness, and by it anchored to the waggon, whose bulk, almost covered by the waters, supports the driver, helplessly holding the reins of his dead team. ' '

. With passengers and mails once more on board the coach took the straight high.road for Cheviot, while the ferry retracing its path across the river made hollow echoing sounds on the shifty shingle. The new bridge loomed black and stubborn over the river that fretted at the solid piers. Through farmlands that smiled in grass and harvest fields the road went on to Cheviot where the passengers took lunch, arid then another coach whirled them over the three miles of road to Mina, which is the terminus of the railway. There a train was ready to take passengers and mails to Christchurch, which was reached

thirteen hours after leaving Kaikoura—schedule time.
