ON TAKING TONICS.

(By " Nature.") Often, when we are run down ir. health and , feeling low-spirited and miserable, we are recommended to " take a tonic." Taking a tonic means thsil the constitution of the blood is altered by the addition to it of some chemical matter. Many people suppose that tonics actually make new blood, but this is an impossiblifcy. No drug or tonic can ever make a single drop of' blood. Blood is derived from food, water, and fresh air, and, if these are supplied to the body m sufliqient quantity and of proper quality, pure blood is formed, to which any addition is uni.ecessary k Generally speaking, when we are m the condition popularly known as " run down," it is not an addition to the blood which is required, but a subtraction from it. An impaired action of the kidneys and liver has. m all probability, caused tho trouble by suffering the system to retain uric and biliary matter formed by the waste of the tissues of the body. Such waste matter, when the kidneys and liver are properly performing their functions, is removed from the body as fast as it is formed; but, when the kidneys and liver are inactive or diseased, the yuric and biliary matter is retained and becomes actively poisonous, causing us to suffer from rheumatism, gout, nouralgia, lumbago, sciatica, biood disorders, anaemia, indigestion, biliousness, jaundice, gravel, stone, bladder troubles, general debility, sick headache, or other uric and biliary disorders. When we are fun down, or are suffering.from any of the complaints mentioned, .the rational means to adopt to restore the- health to its normal condition is to take a medicine which will act beneficially upon the kidneys and liver, and enable them to do their duty efficiently, so that the causative poisons may be eliminated m a natural manner. r . i The best medicine to employ to effect this object is Warner's Safe Cure. Warner's Safe Cure acts specifically upon the kidneys and. liver. This is the reason why this valuable medicine ii so uniformly successful in -the. treat-ment-of- disorders due to the presence of uric and biliary poisons m the blood. The medicine merely aids nature m performing the work of cleansing the In addition to the regular 5/- and 2/9 bottles of Warner's Safe Cure, a concentrated form of the medicine is now issued at 2/6 per bottle. Warner's Safe Cure (Concentrated) is not compounded with alcohol, and contains tho same number of ;doses as the 5/- bottle of Warner's Safe Curo.—H. H.
