HOW TO ATTAIN PERFECT HEALTH, WITH CLEAR FRESH COMPLEXION, FRIGHT EYES, AND LIGHT SPIRITS. The conditions of modern life with its hustle and worry, its late hours and close rooms, tend to prevent one attaining that freedom from illhealth which should be yours. Nature itself, however, has rovided a medicine which will eep you in perfect health. IT IS . . c PURIRI NATURAL MINERAL WATER. A delightful sparkling min.eral water, bottled as it bubbles clear from the crystal spring in New Zealand’s wonderful Thermal Region. Puriri Mineral Water contains all the elements needed to keep the body fit and free from sickness, and scores of doctors not only prescribe it for their patients, but also drink it themselves. Puriri is not a heavy and enervating water like the Continental waters, it is delightful to drink, crisp, piquant, and sparkling. WHAT HIS HONOUR, THE CHIEF JUSTICE, SIR ROBERT STOUT, K.C.M.G., THINKS OF PURIRI?— “ I have much pleasure in stating that I have used Puriri Water for some years. To anyone having a tendency to gout I consider it invaluable. I can testify to its beneficial effects. I believe that anyone leading a sedentary life will find it a useful table water, and second to none in the market. Yours faithfully, (Signed) Robert Stout. Instead of tea before breakfast, drink a glass of Puriri,for a month, and, at the end of that period, you will be delighted with the improvement in your general health. Every lady should drink Puriri, it gives that clearness and freshness of complexion, which can only be obtained by perfect health. Puriri Mineral Water at dinner sharpens the appetite and aids digestion. Quite a number of men take Puriri instead of soda with their liquors; it adds a,delightful snap and sparkle, and has a most beneficial medicinal effect. Not alone is Puriri the best mineral water, it is also the cheapest. A dozen bottles cost 5/-, and if you return the bottles when empty, 1/3 will be refunded, thus PURIRI COSTS ONLY 3/9 PER DOZ. BOTTLES. Tell your wine merchant or grocer, that you want Puriri, and he will get it for you. Stocked by all hotels.

Wo have been in business 60 yenrs and only transmit Reliable goods, have INDIGESTION. * The torments which are suffered when the digestive organs fail to do their work thoroughly are, unfortunately, so well known to most of ns that it is not necessary to* lb- various symptoms of indigestion or dyspepsia to be given in detail here. Indigestion has several sources of origin, the principal being Gastric Catarrh, in which the food becomes covered with mucus, and consequently resists the action of the digestive juices; Gastric Flatulency, the development of wind or gas; Gastric Diarrhoea, caused by the food being hurried through the digestive organs unassimilated, and Constipation. Constipation is by far the most frequent and obstinate cause of indigestion, and it must be rectified or digestion cannot be otherwise than imperfeot. Food must be eaten in sufficient quantity, and must be digested and be converted Into blood. Nature makes this one of her most imperative laws of life. During the process of digestion food is entirely changed in composition by the action of the juices of the internal organs through whieh it passes. In the mouth it is thoroughly mixed with the Baliva. Then it is swallowed, and enters the stomach, where it is acted upon by the gastric juices, and becomes partly liquefied. From the stomach it passes to the smaller intostine—whieh is about 18 feet in length—and there certain portions of the food are liquefied by the bile and other juices. The food thus made fluid is in a oondition to be absorbed into and becomes a constituent part of the blood. The indigestible portion of the food is discharged into the larger intestine, whence it is in turn expelled from the body, together with other refuse matter. Just as certainly as that it is necessary to life that food must be absorbed, so likewise it is essential that the blood must be in a condition to absorb the food. Torpidity of the liver is the chief cause of nearly every case of indigestion, and when the liver is torpid the kidneys are always sympathetically affected to a greater or lesser extent. The blood, which should be transformed, oleansed, and filtered by the kidneys and liver, then contains urinary and biliary poisons, and is therefore a feeble absorbent of nutriment. This condition of the blood reacts upon the nervous system of the digestive organs, and prevents the flow and alters the quality of the digestive juices. The entire nerve energy of a person suffering from indigestion ie weakened owing to the contaminated condition of the blood, and the general feeling of mental and physical depression, which is experienced daring an attack of dyspepsia, is due to this r. ”se. 9 The blood must be continuously purified by the action of the liver and good digestion cannot be expected to occur. w Many sufferers from indigestion obtain temporary relief bjr eating predigested foods or taking medicines, such as pepsin, which act as digestives in the intestines. A Bourse of such treatment merely encourages a slothful action of the digestive, organs, and causes them to become gradually weaker and less capable of performing Iheir duty, just in the same way that a person who takes little or no exercise becomes incapable of responding to any demand for exertion. Other sufferers irritate the digestive organs into temporary and abnormal activity by taking purgative medicines so frequently that presently the stomach and intestines refuse to act except under such irritating stimulation. The only rational and permanent cure for indigestion is to create 3Uoh a condition of the blood that each corpuscle becomes hungry for food; and ready and eager to absorb it. The digestive secretions will then respond to the demands of the blood, and the stomach and intestines will perform their work as a matter of Bourse. When the blood i 3 laden with uric aoid and other urinary and biliary poisons, it eannot adequately absorb food, and makes bat a feeble attempt to do so. Warner’s Safe Cure ■ not a purgative medicine. It 1 permanently cures indigestion and dyspepsia, simply because it restores the liver and kidneys to health and activity, so that the blood naturally becomes free from urinary and biliary poisons, and ravenous to absorb nutriment freely. Nutriment is then convoyed by the blood to the nerves throughout the body. The nerves of the digestive organs being properly nourished, the organs are in a oondition to do their work efficiently. Nature is merely aided in her efforts to preserve a balance in the manifold and complex processes of waste and renewal by whieh life is maintained. , Remember constipation or irregularity of the bowels most be overcome. Warner's Safe Fills should, therefore, also be taken in sufficient quantities to ensure one fees movement daily. Do not overload the stomach. Avoid tea, coffee, atooholio stimulants, and rich cr fat foods. Do not eat generously of any solid food. 9 Write for treatise on liver and Kidney disorders. Seat post free by H. H.
