IS LIFE WORTH LIVING?

(By " Philo.'*)

To almost everyone there occur times when the question whether lite is worth living thrusts itself upon them, but there are, fortunately, very few who como to a negative conclusion and decide to anticipate nature by hurrying " behind the veil."

To those in the possession of buoyant health the question occurs but seldom, but there are so many people who are never in thorough health, and others who suffer from psiin and sickness, that to them—the far ! larger class— vital question is apt to in- | trade itself with persistency.

It- is remarkable how many people suffer from pain and sickness -which they could readily be cured of if they were aware of the causo of their trouble. Of courso there aro diseases which cannot be cured, but such disorders as rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, lumbago, backache, sciatica, blood disorders, anaemia, indigestion, biliousness, jaundice, sick headache, general debility, gravel, stone and bladder troubles, arising, as they do so frequently, from a diseased or inactive condition ot the kidneys and liver, are amenable to proper treatment. \ When the kidneys and liver are working actively and in harmony, uric and biliary poisons are thrown off from the system in a natural manner, and, as it is the prcsenoo of these poisons in the blood which causes the suffering entailed by many of the complaints mentioned, the removal of the poisons means the consequent cessation of pain and suffering.

The kidneys of the average person filter and extract from the blood about three pints of urine every day. In this quantity of urine should be dissolved about an ounce of urea, ten or twelve grains in weight, of uric acid, and other animal and mineral matter varying from a third of an ounce to nearly an ounce*, If the kidneys are working freely and healthily all this solid matter leaves the body dissolved in tho urine, but if, through weakness or disease, the kidneys are unable to do their work properly, a quantity of these urinary substances remains in the blood and flows through tho veins contaminating the whole iiystem. Then we suffer from some form of uric poisoning, ouch as Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Backache, Sciatica,- Persistent Headache, Neuralgia, Gravel, Stono, and Bladder Troubles. The liver is an automatic chemical laboratory. In the liver various substances aro actually made from the blood. Two or throe pounds of bile aro thus made by the liver ©very day. Tho liver takes sugar from the blood, converts it into another form, and stores it up so as to be able to again supply it to the blood, as the latter may require enrichment. The liver changes uric acid, ! which is insoluble, into urea which is completely seiuble, and tho liver aipo deals with the blood corpuscles which have lived their life and are useful no longer. When the liver is inactive or diseased we suffer from some form of biliary poisoning such as Indigestion, Biliousness, Anaemia, Jaundice, Sick Headachy General Debility, and Blood Disis the rolation between the work done by tho kidneys and that done by the liver, that where there is any failure on tho part of the kidneys the liver is apt to become affected in sympathy, and vie© versa. It was the realisation of the importance of this close union of the labour of these vital organs which resulted in the discovery of the medicine now known throughout the world as Warner's Safe Cure. Certain investigators, knowing what a boon it would be to humanity if some medicine could bo found which would act specifically on both the kidneys and liver devoted themselves to an exhaustive search for such a medium, and their devotion was eventually rewarded by their success in compounding a medicine which possesses the required quality. Warner's Safe Cure exhibits a marvellous healine action in cases of functional or chronic disease of the kidneys liver, and restoring them, as, generally, it is able to do, to health and activity, it, of necessity, cures complaints due to tho retention in the system of urinary and biliary poisons. A vigorous action of tho kidnoys and liver naturally eliminates the poisons, and troubles due to the presence of the poisons cease. Cures effected by Warners Safe Cure aro permanent simply because they are natural. Diseases, diagnosed as Bright s disease, have often yielded to treatment by Warner a Safe ° Warner's Safe Cure is sold by chemists and storekeepers everywhere, both in original (ss) bottles, and in the cheaper (2s od) '• Concentrated," non-aloohclic form. ,
