THE OZAR IN DISTRESS.
'• Uneasy lies the head that wears n crown". A journal published at Munich announces, apparently on good authority, that the recent illness of the Czsr, which was attributed to an attempt at poisoning him on the part of the Nihlists, is due to an attack of epilepsy. The Czar, it ia stated, is subject to auch attacks since the occurence of the Borki railway accident, in which ha narrowly with hie life. Such are the tidings conveyed by cable. Epilepsy must be regarded aa ono of tho most affective and stubborn of maladies. The origin of the disease, if nofc hereditary, may,be traoed to terror, sudden alarm, grief, prostrated aoxiety or disorder of the mind. In this iostaHce therefore, the news cannot come as a surprise, and it is painful to contemplate that this despotic ruler, labouring under an intractable disease, may at any time away the destinies of Europe. Ever since his acession to the throne, Czar Alexander 11. has been made a living target, whom Nihilists thought it a privilege to strike down without compunction. Considering the many attempts that have been made it seems almost inexplicable that the Russian monarch escaped with his life. If, as the poet says, " a sinful heart makes feeble bauds," wo have an explanation, but it is by no means less remarkable that dynamite explosions and infernal machines equally missed their mark, while the escape of the Imperial family from the railway disaster was nothing short of marvellous. While deprecating these attempted asuasinations, many cannot withhold their sympathy with these faDatic victims, who, laboring under the idea that they deliver tho country from an autocrat, attempt his life and sacrifice their own. Vain effort! In most instances of regicide, the sceptre went into youoger and stronger hands. Czar Alexander died a violent death, yet tho Czir still lives. But he is now broken down physically and mentally. What a losßon lies in his fate, fraught with such bitter experience, for do we not sea in every day life continually depicted results of anxiety or over-work among a'l classes and conditions of men ? The eloquent advocate of people's rights, tho fervid preaoher of the Gospel, the mariner exposed to the rages of the storm and sea, the mechanic bont double in his workroom —all are liable to disease. Most diseases, it is known, emanate from disorder of kidneys and liver. The problem of health lies, therefore, in the wisdom of restoring these organs to their proper action. There ia a remedy which rejuvenates the constitution, and stayß off the encroachiog iofirmities of age. That remedy is Warner's Safe Cure.
Read the annexed attestations, which will dispel any doubt.
Mr Hugh Tay'or, M.L.A., Parramatla, N.S.W., states :—December 6, 1889. .For three or four yours I have suffered most severely from rheumatic pains in the left side and foot, for which I took a number of medical preparations without experiencing any amelioration in my condition. Now, twelve months since your remedies were favorably introduced to my notice. After using one bottle of Warner's Safe Cure, followed by one bottle of Warner's Safe Rheumatic Cure, taken in conjunction with one vial of the Safe Pills, my pains promptly ceased, and there has ba«n no reaction of my complaint to the present time."
The Rev. JO3. Bowee, Charters Towers, Q., testifies under date September 12th, 1889;—"For tho past ten years I have suffered greatly from disease of the liver and pains in the region of the liver and heart. I also was affected with tndigea. tion and its train of complaints, for which I took a number of medicines without deriving j°any benefit. Six months ago I first heard of the merits of Warner's Safe Cure,'when I procured it, with the result that fifteen bottles have almost entirely removed my suffering, which at timas han beea most intense."
Mr James Smith, Master Mariner, Blnff Point, N.Z., says :-«For2o years I have suffered from disease of the kidneys, causing periodically such severe ln the back, hip, and thighs, that I felt entirely prostrated. My digestive faculties were so weak that I was often aoable; to retain any food in the stomach, My urine was loaded with sediment, and micturating was accompanied by sudden onsels of pain, lu tho evenings swelling of the lower extremeties of my limbs set in, subsiding again in the morning, lu this miserable condition, physically, with no prospect of recovery, I commenced the use of Warner's Safe Guru and Safe Pills. After the use of a few bottles I was amazed nt the result, for my pains vanished, and my watar bocame perfectly clear. I have consumed some 24 bottles of Warner's Safe Cure with about It) vials of the Safe Pills My health is.hotter, than at any other period during the past two decades."
Mr John Oliver writes as under date Sydney, January 9, 1890 :-l am u mechanio working the electric light at Robertas Hotel, and owing to the precarious nature of my calling have suffered from obstruction and swelling of the liver disorder of the kidneys, and its concomitant complaints, such as wandering pains, dizziDoas, and unbearable headaches. 1 have tried many medicines to no purpose. After the use of five bottles of Warner s Safe Cure, with a few vials of the Safe Pills, my suffering was a thing of the past. ' 6
