Mysterious.

“ I fear no evil that I can see!” exclaimed Napoleon, and his acts proved the truth of his philosophy. He could face danger in every form ; but the sunken road of Waterloo

was an unseen foe, greater than the armies around him. This same principle seems true with most people. We fear the unseen ; we dread the unknown ; we shrink from that which possesses the power to harm, that which is liable to break at any moment. A volcano is picturesque ; but men do not build their homes upon its sides.

In the midst of so much mystery and so many unseen dangers, we naturally feel a sense of awe. We wonder if some terrible calamity may not be just beneath the surface of what is apparently bright and serene. We wonder if some small portion of the human machinery should get out of order what the result would be ; and we fear disaster from powers we cannot comprehend. It is natural we should do I It is reasonable we should wonder what become of us if the dedicate mechanism of the brain should get broken. It is natural we should ask what the result would be if the million tissues of the lungs, liver or kidney should become disordered. A slight excess, a careless attention to the details of health apparently does no harm, but it none the less undermines the life. It is a draft upon vitality which must be honored in the future. The trite saying that such acts “ drive nails in one’s coffin ” is as true as it is old.

But our own neglect is by no means all the unseen injuries that come to the human system. There are a thousand evil influences all around us at war with our lives. They are inhaled into the lungs and pnisnn the blood; they are absorbed through th s

and foster disease; they are devoured wth the food and corrode the most important organs of tho body ; they are transmitted by contact with vegetables and minerals as well as mankind. Good health is a thing to be acquired : it will not come of its own accord. The man or woman who possesses the power to counteract all these evil influences and tendencies has obtained a secret of untold value. The constant strain and exertions above referred to, gradually weaken some of the most important organs of tie body, and invite them to welcome the coming of broken health. The lungs, heart, liver and kidneys can very easily become weakened ; and how ? By these very abuses and strains that are constantly brought to bear upon them. It is necessary to guard these organs and preserve their proper tone at all times. A prominent gentleman felt unusually tired one day, but supposing it to be caused by over-exertion he gave it little attention. The next day he was not so languid, but his head pained him. This he attributed to indiges tion, and took no further notice of it. Matters went along in this way for several weeks, the headaches and languor increasing, accompanied occasionally by certain dull pains in various parts of the body. He was not wholly insensible to these troubles; but being closely occupied, he heedlessly overlooked them. There finally came an intense pain in the small of the back; his ankles became swollen to twice their natural size, most violent nousea took possession of him, and life seemed one intense pain. A physician was called, who pronounced it Bright’s disease of the kidneys, which he was able to relieve but could not cure.

Now, had any one warned this gentleman that the symptons that had troubled him so long arose from the kidney, he would have attended to them at once ; but he did uot know it ; and many men and women to-day, in every part of Australia, are suffering, substantially, as did this gentleman, and from the same cause ; and it is high time they should know what it means. It means present discomfort, future unhappines and premature death, unless attended to promptly and treated rightly. The only discovery which has ever been made in the scientific or medical worlds that is a certain remedy for all such troubles, is Warner’s safe Cure. Made from a tropical leaf whose properties, like Peruvian bark, aie known and invaluable, it acts at once and naturally upon the organs which produos these distressing troubles, carrying health to the entire system and banishing pain.

While the most serious evils which can afflict man or womankind are those which arise from disordered kidneys, they are diseases which can be controlled if taken in time. The trouble is, that they ara “ unseen evils,” and the primary danger arises from the fact that the symptoms they manifest are not recognized, but are attributable to some minor disorder, which, by being considered slight, is permitted to fasten itself upon the system. That one-half of physical disorders arise from imperfect kidneys is a new but settled truth ; and that these disorders might be prevented by using Warner’s Safe Cupe is equally true. Thousands of people, including prominent physicians, scientists and divines, who have known of its wonderful powers, indorse and recommend it. It acts upon both liver and kidneys in a direct and certain manner, and invariably relieves and strengthens both. It puts them in a healthy condition, when otherwise, they would become inflamed. It gives a pleasing tonic to the entire system, and harmonizes all the parts. Chemists throughout the world sell it; and the opportunity for thus obtaining its benefits are brought near to every one. It will solve the mystery of good health, and keep back the day on which comes “ the great mystery.”
