IN THE GOOD OLD TIMES.

(By "Youth.'’) Did the koihl old Units, which wc to often hear the praises of from our elderly relatives and friends, over really exist I- Perhaps tho judgment of these enthusiasts is obscured by tho j-lamo ir always lent by distanc*. Perhaps, too, tln-ir pulses are so quickened by u collections of their early youth, when '.ho world was new to them and all things ■seemed good, that they forget ail but the roseate streaks and omit to remember the shadows. To us, who read descriptions ot tiro kind of life endured by people, not only in Australasia, but in the old world fifty or seventy years ago, it Tv'irs incredible that anyone can call tho e times "good.'' so void were they of comfort.s which wo now look upon :us necessities. Fancy, for instance, getting up on n cold morning and fumbling about with flint, steel and tinder Indore a fire could be started. Why. Ilic very thought makes one’s spine creep! Or the u.se of steam jieoplo knew but little, a :nd electricity was merely a toy ol the chemist. Tho useful applications of science, which arc now so common that we take them for granted, ivcie unknown. Medical and surgical treatment , instead of being as now reduced to sciences, were then largely mptncal. Kven at the present day such -omplaiuts as rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, ittni bago, sciatica, blood disorders, anaemia, indigestion, biliousness, jaundice, sick headache, general debility, gravel, sure and bladder Iron idee are occasionally created as specific diseases histoid of as disorders caused hv the retention in the system of uric acid and other i.r'nary and biliary poisons which would have been duly removed from the body by natural channels if the kidneys red liver had been acting actively and elliciently. Tho kidneys of the average person filter and extract from tho Mood about three pints of urine every day. In this quantity of urine should bo nissoiVid about an ounce of urea, ton or t volte 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 .caves the hotly dissolved in tho urine, but if. through weakness or disease, 'ho kidneys urn unable to do their wotl; properly, a quantity of those urinnty substances remains in the blood r.nd flows through tho veins, conUuniint Lis; the whole system. Then wo miller Tor., some form of uric poisoning, -such as Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Hackache. Sciatica, Persistent Headache, Neuralgia, Gravel. Stone, nnd Bladder Troublei;. A simple test to make as to whether the kidneys are healthy is to place some m ine, passed the first thing in the morning, in a covered glass, and lot it stand until next morning. If it is then cloudy, shows a sediment like brick-dust, is of an unnatural colour, or has particles floating about in u. the kidneys arc weak or diseased, and steps) must immediately be taken to re.storo their vigour, or Bright’s Disease, Dinltetos. or some of tho many manifestations of uric poisoning will result. The Liver is an automatic chemical laboratory. In tho liver various sub- ! stances are actually made from the blood. Two or three pounds of bile arc thus made by tlie liver every day. Tho liver takes sugar from tho blood, converts it into another form, and stores it up so as to ho able to again supply it. to tho blood as the latter may require enrichment. Tho liver changes uric acid, which is insoluble, into urea, which is completely soitthic, ami the liver also deals with the blood corpuscles which have lived their life and are useful no longer. 'When tho liver is inactive or diseased wc suffer from some form of biliary poisoning, such as Indigestion, Biliousness, Anaemia. Jaundice, Sick Headache, General Debility and Blood Disorders. So intimate is tho relation between tho work done by the kidneys nnd that done by the liver, that where there is any failure on tho part of tho kidneys tho liver becomes affected in sympathy and vice versa. It was the realisation of tho importance of this cloeo union of the labour of these vital organs which resulted in the discovery of the medicine now known throughout tho world as Warner’s Safe Cure. Certain medical men, knowing what a boon it would be to humanity if some medicine could be found which would act sueeifically on both tho 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 tho required qualitv in the fullest degree. Warner's Safe Cure exhibits a marvellous healing action in all cases of functional or chronic disease of tho kidneys and liver, and restoring them, as it is able to do. fo health and activity, it of necessity cures all complaints duo to tiio retention in tho system of urinary and biliary poisons. A vigorous action of tho kidneys nnd liver naturally eliminates tho ••otsons, and troubles duo to tho presence of the poisons cease. Cures effected by Warner’s Safa Cure are permanent, simply because thev are natural.
