IN THE GOOD OLD TIMES. Q $ (By "Youth.") Did the good old times, which we so j often hear ihe praises of from our elderly relatives and friends, ever really exist? Perhaps the judgment of these enthusiasts is obscured by the glamour always lent by distance. Perhaps, too, tlmir pulses are so quickened by recollections of their early youth, when tho world was new to them and all things seemed good, that they forget all but the roseate streaks and omit to remember the shadows. To us, who read descriptions of tho 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 limes "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 before a fire could be started. Why, tho very thought makes one's spine creep ! Of the use of steam people knew but little, and electricity was merely a toy of the chemist. The useful applications of science, which are now so common that we take, them for granted, were unknown. Surgical operations were attended by enormous risk, and medical comforts- and efficient nursing, now so easily obtainable, were almost unprocurable. Education was a luxury available only to a small minority of people, and the means of disseminating knowledge and information were restricted. | Even in thcw„ 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, sick headache, general debility, gravel, stone and bladder troubles, are apt to be treated as specific diseases instead of as disorders caused, in most eases, by the retention in the system of uric acid and other urinary and biliary poisons which would have been duly removed Irom the body by natural channel!- if the kidneys and liver had been acting actively and efficiently. ©

' Tlie kidneys of tlw average person filter and extract from the blood about three pints of urine t-very day. In this quantity of urine should lie dissolved about an ounce of urea, ten or twelve grains in weight of uric acid, and other annual and mineral matter varying from a third of an ounce to nearly an ounce If Ihe kidneys are working freely and healthily all this solid matter leaves the body dissolved in the urine, but if, through weakness or disease, the kidneys are unable to do their work properly, a quantity of these urinary substances remams in the blood and flows through (■he veins contaminating the whole system Then w suffer from some form of urir. poisoning, such as llheumati.sin, (lout, Lumbago. Backache, Sciatica, Per fii.ste.nt Headache. Neuralgia, Gravel, Stone, and Blaridtr Troubles.

The Liver is an automatic chemical laboratory. In the liver various substances are actually made from the blood Two or three pounds of bilo thus made by the liver every . day. Th« liver takes sugar 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 arid, which is insoluble, into urea, which is completely soluble. and tho 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 from some form of biliary poisoning, such as Indigestion, Biliousness, Anaemia, Jaun dice, SJick Headaihe, General Debility, and Blood Disorders. Q.

| 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 pan of the kidneys the liver frequently be comes affected in jiympathy and vice versa. It was the realisation of the importance of this close union of Ihe labour of these vital organs which resulted in tho discovery of the medicine now known throughout the world as Warner's Safe Cure. Certain scientists, 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 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'n Safe Cure Warner's Safe Cure exhibits a marvellous healing action in all cases of functional or chronic disease of tho 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 ihe poisons cease. Cures effect*d by Warner's Safe Cure ave permanent, simply because they are natural Warner's Safe Cure is sold by chemists and storekeepers everywhere, both in the original (ss) bottles, and 9 in the cheaper (2s 6d) "Concentrated," nonalcoholic form.
