RESTORATION TO HEALTH.

(By

“SANO.”)

One of the supremest joys of life is the experience of full-blooded health after one has suffered bodily pain for a lengthy period, especially when the illness has been of such a nature that nearly all hope of recovery has been abandoned. In these days of strict attention to hygiene, diet, and physical culture, the maintenance of good health has been reduced to a science, and it is comparatively easy to remain well and fit when once in proper form, whilst there are a large number of disorders that afflict humanity which now can be avoided, or readilv cured, if the origin of such disorders is understood. It is quite common, still, to regard Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Sciatica, Gravel and Stone. Bladder Troubles, Biliousness, Indigestion, Jaundice, Sick Headache, Anaemia, General Debility, and most blood disorders as being of a specific nature, each calling for independent treatment, when, in fact, all of these disorders have their origin in an inefficient action of the kidneys and liver. The importance of the work which nature has apportioned to the kidneys and liver will be more fully realised by a short account of their respective functions.

The kidnevs of the average person filter and extract from the blood about three pints of urine every day. In this quantity of urine should be dissolved about an ounce of urea, ten or twelve grains in weight, of uric acid, and other animal and mineral matter varying from a third of an ounce o nearly an ounce. If the kidneys are working freely and healthily, all this solid mattei leaves the body dissolved in the unne but if through weakness or disease, the kidneys are unable to do their work properly, a quantity of those urinary substances remains 'in the blood and flows through the veins contaminating the whole system. Then we suffer from some form of uric poisoni o such as Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Back‘ache. Sciatica, Persistent Headache, Neural-

gia, Gravel, Stone, and Bladder troubles. A simple test to make as to whether the kidneys are healthy is to place some urine, passed the first thing in the morning, in a covered glass, and let it stand until next itiorning. if it is then cloudy, shows a sediment like brick-dust, is of an unnatural colour, or has particles floating about in it, the kidneys are weak or diseased, and steps must immediately be taken to restore their vigour, or Bright’s Disease, Diabetes, or some of the many manifestations of uric poisoning will result.

the liver is an automatic chemical laboratoiy. In the liver various substances are actually made from the blood. Two or three pounds of bile are thus made by the liver every day. The liver takes sugar from the blood, converts it into another form, and stores it up so as to be able to again supply it to the blood, as the latter may require enrichment. The liver changes uric acid, which is insoluble, into urea, which is completely soluble, and the liver also deals with the" blood corpuscles which have lived their life and are useful no longer. When the liver is inactive or diseased we suffer fi om some form of biliary poisoning such us Indigestion, Biliousness, Anemia, Jaundice, Sick Headache, General Debility, and Blood Disorders.

So intimate is the relation between the work done by the kidneys and that done by the liver, that where there is any failure on the part of the kidneys, the liver becomes affected in sympathy and vice versa. It was the realisation of the importance of this close union of the labour of those vital organs which resulted in the discovery of the medicine now known throughout the world as Warner’s Safe Cure. Certain medical men, knowing what a boon it would be to humanity if some medicine could be found which' would act specifically on both the kidneys and liver, devoted themselves to at: exhaustive search for such a medium, and their devotion was eventually rewarded by their success in compounding a medicine which possesses the required quality in the fullest degree. Warner’s Safe Cure exhibits a marvellous healing action in all cases of functional or chronic diseases of the kidneys and liver, and restoring them, as it is able to do. to health and activity, it, of necessity, cures all complaints due to the retention in the system of urinary and biliary poisons. A vigorous action of the kidneys and liver naturally eliminates the poisons and troubles due to the presence of the poisons cease. Cures effected bv Warner’s Safe Cure are permanent simply because thev are natural.
