IN THE GOOD OLD TIMES.

w (By "Youth.") Did the good old times, which we so often hear the praises of from our elderly relatives and friends, ever really exist': Perhaps the judgment of I hose enthusiasts is obscured by the glamoui always lent by distance Perhaps, 100, their pulses are so tpiukcned by recollections of their early youth, when the world was new to then) and all things seemed good, that they forget all but the roseate streaks and omit lo remember the shadows. To us, who read descriptions of Uio kind of life endured by people, not only in Australasia, but in the old world, fifty or seventy years ago, it- seems incredible that anyone can call those times "good," so void were they of things which we now look upon as necessities. Fancy, for instance, getting up on a cold morning and fumbling about with a flint, steel, and tinder befoie a (ire could be slatted. Why. the very thought makes one's spine creep ! Of the use of steam people knew but little, and electricity was merely a Ury of the chemist. The useful applications of siieme, which are now so common that we take them for granted, weie unknown. Surgical operations were attended by enoimous risk, and medical comforts 'arid efficient nursing, now so easily obtainable, were, almost unprocurable. Education was a luxury available only to a small nunoiity of people, and the" means of disseminating knowledge and information were restricted. liven in these present days, when it is so ea.-y for anyone to !>e< onie enlight eued on almost any subject, sm h complaints as rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, lumbago. sciatica, blood disorders. anaemia, indigestion, biliousness, jaundice, sick headache, genera! debility, gravel, stone and bladder troubles, aie apt to be treated as specific diseases instead of as disorders caused, in most case?, by the letention in the system < f uric aetd and oilier urinary and biliary poisons which would have been duly removed from the body by natural channel!" if the kidneys and liver had been acting actively and efficiently, 9

* The kidneys of tin- person filter and extract from tin; blood a bold three pints of urine every day. In this quantity of urine should be dissolved about an ounce of urea, ten or twelve fjr.'ims in weight of uric acid, and other animal and minora! matter varying fr<>m a third of an ounce to nearly an oume If the kidrrys are working freely and healthily all this solid in.titer leaves the Iwnlv dissolved in the urine, but if, through weakness or disease, tli<> kidneys are unable to do their work properly, a

quantity of thcsi' urinaiy substances remams "111 the blood and flows through the veins ionlaniinatine; the whole- system Then w? suffer from some form of uric poisoriin;,', such a* liheumati.-m, (lout.

.The Liver is ;in nut<irn;it]c chemical laboratory. In the liver v.nious substances are actually m;n]e from tho Mood Two or three pounds of bile Urns made by tho liver every day. Tli* liver takes from tho Ulood, converts it into another form, and stores it up so as to be able to supply it to the blond as the latter may require enrichment. Iho liver changes uric acid, which is insoluble, jnfo urfa. which is completely soluble. ,-flid tho liver also deals with the blood lorpusclex which have lived their life ana are useful no longer. When the liver is inactive or diseased we suffer from some form of biliary poisoning, Mich as Indig<;sti<w, Biliousness. Anaemia. Jaundice. Sick Headache, CJeneral Debility, and Blood Disorders. Q

1 ~ So intimate i* ll"' relation between tin? work done by the kidneys ;iml that, done by the liver. Unit where there is any failiii* i'ii the pait of the kidneys the liver frequently becomes iiffeeted in sympathy ;ind vice versa, ll was the realisation of t' l *' importance of this close union of 'be labour of these vital organs which resulted in the discovery of ihe medicine now known throughout the world as Warners Safe Cure. Certain scientists, knowing what, a boon it would be to humanity if some medicine could be found which would act. specific ally on both the kidneys anil liver, devoted themselves to an exhaustive search for such a medium, and their devotion was eventually rewarded by their success in compounding' a medicine which possesses the required quality. This medicine is now known an Warner's Safe Cure. Warner's Safe Cure exhibits a marvellous healing action in all cases of functional or chronic disease of the kidneys and liver, and restoring them, as it is able to do, lo health and activity, it of necessity,-aims all complaints due to the retention in • the system of urinary and hiiiarv 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 by Warner's Safe Cure are permanent, simply because they are natural. Warner's Safe Cure is sold by chemists and storekeepers everywhere, both in the original (ss) bottles, and® in the cheaper (2s 6d) "Concentrated," non-alr-ohoLic form.
