HE OF THE RUEFUL VISAGE.
As tho shades of evening fell, by the groat North road camo a stranger to tho city. Though clad in.good apparaJ, Ids stop was slow, and his face boro a look of so woeful a sadness, that, as ho passed along, tho burghers, ono and all, turned to gazo on him with deep pity. At length ho stopped, and leaned him wearily against a pillar. Ono who watched- him spake unto him and said, “What ails thee, friend? Why are'thou cast down?” Tho stranger heaved a deep sigh. “Alas, good sir,” ho said, “I am in sore despair. For many months have I boon sick unto death. My liver is swollen within mo, my kidneys are as lead, and my stomach is engorged with bile.” The multitude which had gathered round him stared at him in deep amazo. “Whence comest thou?” said one. “I come,” replied tho stranger, “from the plains which are back of beyond.” “I shrewdly guessed as much,” quoth the first speaker. “Knowcst thou not that, at every place whore they do vend drugs, thou canst procure a sovereign specific for thy complaint yclept Warner’s Safe Cure, which will speedily give thee back thy lost health? Hie thee, then, and procure a flask.” Tho grateful stranger overwhelmed the kind San with thanks, and obeyed his behest, o drank of tho potent draught, and health encompassed him about. Warner’s Safe Cure is a specific cure for a.ll diseases arising from a deranged condition of the kidneys and liver such as rheumatism, indigestion, dyspepsia, blood disorders, biliousness, anaemia, gravel, gout, neuralgia, general debility, and Bright’s disease.
