QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Q. I have Wn feeling very poorly lately, and hav<j just been told that I am suffering f- om uric poisoning. I shall be glad »f you will tell me'just what uric pokoning means. Is it a eerious matter',

A. Uric poisoning is caused by the retention in the blood of substances which should leave the.body in solution, The retention of these substances is due to a diseased or inactive condition of the kidneys. When the kidneys are working perfectly, they filter and extract from the blood of the .average individual about three pints of urine every day. In this quantity of urine ehould be dissolved various waste material produced by the wear and tear of the tissues of the body. This is dead matter, and its presence in the blood is poisonous. The three pints of normal urine should contain about ten grains in weight of uric acod, an ounce of urea, together with other animal and mineral matter varying from a third of an ounce to nearly an

" ounce.

Q. Then I am to understand that the substances you mention when nob eliminated from the body in the natural manner constitute what is known as uric poisoning. What aTe the ucual symptoms by which the. presence of these poisons is manifested? A. Now you are' asking a rather large question. Many complaints which are commonly called dise-ss-es are not actually diseases in themselves. For instance, Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Sciatica, Gravel, Stone, and Bladder Troubles are frequently caused by uric poisons. Indigestion, Anaemia, Persistent Headache, and General Debility are often' solely due to the same ' cause. In fact, speaking generally, if the kidneys were doing their work freely and thoroughly, none of the complaints mentioned would trouble us as the causative poisons would "be absent. Q. I had no idea that so much depended upon the efficient action of the kidneys., I suppose that when anyone is suffering from Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Sciatica, Gravel, Stone, Bladder Troubles, Anaemia, De- ( bility,' Persistent Headache; or Indigestion, the scientific method of effecting a cure, in moet "cases, would be to directly treat the patient for the kidneys? A. Exactly. In fact, that is the only way in "which a radical and permanent cure would be effected. The kidneys must be1 restored to health and activity, so that they may bo enabled to remove the daily production of poisons, in the body, or the patient must continue to suffer.

Q. I have always been under the impression that the liver had a great deal to do with the maintenance of bur general health, but it seems that the kidneys are the chief cause of most of the disorders from which we suffer.

A. Tho work done by the liver is of the utmost importance, -and it is closely associated with the work don© by the I^idneys. Indeed, when anything is the ■matter with the liver the kidneys are generally affected, anc? the contrary i* likewise true. In the liver various substances are actuaUy made from the blood. Two or three pounds of bile are thus made every day. The liver takes sugar from, the blood, converts it into another form, and stores it up so as to be able^again to supply it to the blood, gradually, as the latter requires enrickment. The liver changes uric acid, which is insoluble, into urea which is completely soluble, and the liver also deale with the blood corpuscles which have lived their life and are useful no longer. Q. As the functions of the'"kidneys and liver are so intimately related, I gather that if there is reason to suspect that either organ is not doing its _work efficiently, a curative agent should be employed which would act equally upon the kidneys and liver?

A. Y«s, that is the case, and it was the realisation of this important fact which led to the discovery of that invaluable medicine Warner's Safe Cure. About thirty years ago, certain investigators, knowing that if they could find a medicine which would benefically affect alike the kidneys and the liver, they could control most of the common disorders, devoted themselves to the search for such a remedy. After many disappointments, their efforts were rewarded, and a medicine now known as Warner's Safe Cure was proved to possess the required* properties. Warner's Safe Cure has a*marvcllously stimulating and healing effect upon both the. kidneys and the liver, and by restoring these vital organs to health and activity, it necessarily cures all disorders due to the retention in the blood of urinary and biliary poisons such as Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Sciatica, Blood Disorders, Anaemia, Indigestion, Biliousness, Jaundice, Gravel, Stone, Bladder Troubles, General Debility, and /Sick Headache. Even complaints diagnosed as Bright's Disease, probably the most fatal of all diseases, often yield to treatment by Warner's Safe Cure. Cures effected by Warner's Safe Cure are permanent, simply because they are natural.

As you are so much interested in this subject you should write to the Australasian office of H. H. Warner and Co., Limited, Melbourne, who will be pleased to send you, free of charge, a pamphlet treating it fully. Warner's Safe Cure is eold by chemists and storekeepers everywhere, both in the original form (56 bottles) and in tho cheaper "Concentrated," nonalcoholic form (2s 6d bottles).
