IN THE GOOD OLD TIMES. * (By "Youth.") * Did tho good old times, which we so often hear the praises of from our elderly relatives and lriends, ever really exist 'I Perhaps the judgment of those enthusiast* is obscured by the glamour always lent by distance. Perhaps, Loo, th«ir pulsus are so (jim.kened 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 tho shadows. To us, who icad 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 times "good," so void were they of tilings 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 firo could be stalled. Why, tlio 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 nek, 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 these present days, when it is so easy for anyone to become enlightened on almost any subject, such complaints as rheijiiiati.sin, 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 cases, by the retention in the system of uric acid and other 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 efficiently. 0 * The kidneys ot 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 to nearly an ounce. If the 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, ;i quantity of these urinary substances remains in the blood and flows through the veins contaminating the whole system. Then we stiflVr from some form of uric poisoning, sui-h as Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago. Backache, Sciatica, Per susie.nt, Headache, Neuralgia, Gravel, Stone, and Bladder Troubles. The Liver is an automatic chemical laboratory. In the liver various sub-stan.'-es are actually made from the blood Two or three pounds of bile thus made by the liver overy day. Th« liver takes sugar from the blood, converts it into another form, : and stores it up so as to be able to again &;ipply it to the blood as the latter i 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 from some form of biliary poisoning, such, as ' Indigestion, Biliousness, Anaemia, Jaun '• dice, Sick Headache, General Debility, { and Blood Disorders. a

So intimate, is the relation between

the work done by tin- kidney? arid that 1 done by the liver, tliiil where , there is any failuro mi tho pin! of (ho kidneys the liver frequently becomes affecUu! in sympathy ;| i>(! vk-c versn. ll \v;ks tho realisation of tin , importance of tiiis close union of I lie tabour of these vital organs whuli resulte<l in tho discovery of the medicine now known throughout the world as Warner's Safe Cure. Certain scientists, kuowins; 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 U> an exhaustive search for such a medium, and their devotion was eventually rewarded by their success in compounding a medicine whith possesses the required quality. This niedicino is now known as Warner's Safe Cure. Warner's Safe Curt , 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 are natural. Warner's Safe Cure is sold by chemists and storekeepers everywhere, both in the original (ss) bottles, andf in the cheaper (2s 6d) "Conoentrated," non-alcoholin form.
