SLAIN WITH A STONE.

No one can read the story of the youthful David, with his simple sling and stones from the brook, going out to meet the boastful Goliath in the presence of two armies and destroying him, without a thrill of admiration at his bravery and prowess. And yet smaller stones than David used to despatch th<» giant have since silently slain thousands. Tbe Rev. N. Pattinson, of Rochester, Victoria, suffered for three years from stone in the bladder. He says his life was becoming one of misery, and he had thought seriously of giving up the work of the ministry, when fortuuately Warner's safe cure was brought under his notice by a clerical friend, the Rev. S. P. Webber, and he took the medicine with such good results that a stone wits passed away, and a speedy restoration to health followed. Mr W. P. Davies, of 5 Kennoway Terrace, Rose Street, Darlington, Sydney, N.S.W., suffered more or less with stone in the bladder for 14 years. Last December an operation was performed on him, for crushing the btoue, and for the succeeding two months ho was coufined to his bed, and in a condition more dead than alive, and gave up all hope of recovery. At this time he was recommended to try Warner's safe cure and Warner's safe pills. He did so, and after taking nine bottles, which eliminated large quantities of gritty matter, he entirely recovered ; gained three stone in weight, and is to-day a living monument to the efficacy of the medicines mentioned. Mr Samuel Hosking, of Gill Street, Charters Towers, Q., was also cured of s" -severe attack of gravel with Warner's safe cure. Such testimony is beyond controversy. The gentlemen mentioned will gladly verify every statement we have made.
