IN THE GOOD OLD TIMES. * (By "Youth.") * Did the good old times, which we so often hear the praises of from our elderly relatives and friend*, ever really exist'.' Perhaps the judgment of those enthusiasts is obscured by the glamour always lent by distance. Perhaps, 100, their pulses aro so tjviickcued by recollections of their early youth, when the world was new to them and all things seemed good, that they forget all b'ut the roseate streaks ami omit to remember tho shadows.

To us, who read descriptions of tlio kind of life ondurvil by people, not only in Australasia, bul-in the eld world, fifty or seventy years ago, it seems incredible that anyone- can call these times "good," so void were they of tilings which we now look upon as necessities. F«mcv, for in.stancc, gelling up oil a cotal morning and fumbling about with a« flint-, steel, and tinder before a fire could be started. Why. thevery thought, makes one's spine creep ! Of the use of steam people know but little, and electricity was merely a toj of the chemist. The useful applications of _srienc.c, which are now so common that we ta3te tlicm for grunted, weie unknown. Surgical operations were attended by enormous risk, and medical comforts and efficient nursing, now so easily obtainable, were almost unprocurable. Education was a luxuiy available only to a small minoiity of people, and the means of disseminating knowledge arid information were restricted. Even in -these present days, when it is so easy for anyone to become enlightened on almost any subject, such complaints as rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, lumbago, sciatica, blood disorders,, anaemia, indigestion, biliousness, jaundice, ski; headache, general debility, gravel, stone and bladder troubles, artapt to be treated as specific diseases instead of as disorders caused, in most cases, by the retention in the system of uric- acid and ether urinary and biliary poisons which would have been duly removed from the body by natural channels if the kidneys and liver had been acting actively and eflieittntly, ©

y The kidneys of the a.verago person filter and extract from tlw.: 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 (hud of an ounce to nearly an ounce If the kidneys are wi,iking freely and healthily all Ibis solid matter leaves the body dissolved in the urine, but if, LliHUigh weakness or disease, the kidneys are. unalile to do their work properly, a quantity of these urinary substances remains in the blood and flows through the veins contaminating the whole system Then we suffer from some form of urir poisoning, such as lihcumatism, C!out, Lumbago. Backache, Sciatica, Per ■si.stent. lleadaihe. Neuralgia, Gravel, Stone, and [{ladder Troubles,

The Liver is an automatic chemical laboratory. In the liver various substances are actually made from the blood Two or three pounds of bile thus nude by the liver every day. The liver takes iuigai from tho 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 lifo and art: useful no longer. When the liver is inactive or diseased we suffer from some form of biliary poisoning, such as Indigestion, Biliousness, Anaemia, Jaun dice, Sick Headache, General Debility and Blood Disorders. ©

So intimate is (lie relation between the work done by the kidneys and that done bv the liver, that where there is any failure on the part of the kidneys the liver frequently becomes affected in .sympathy and vice versa. It was tho realisation of the importance of this close union of the labour of these vital organs wiiiih resulted in the discovery of ihe medicine now known throughout the world as Warner's fSafe Cure. Certain scientists, knowing what a boon itwould be to humanity if some medicine could be found which would act specifically on both the kidneys and 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 as 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, 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 by Warner's Safe Cure are permanent-, simply because they ate natural Warner's Safe Cure is sold by chemists and storekeepers everywhere, both in the original (ss) bottles, andQ in the cheaper (2s 6d) "Conoentrated," non-alcoholic form.
