Australia's Backbone.
« Greater than Agriculture, greater than Manufactures, greater even than the Goldyield, is the wool olip, a staple of Australia's ■olvency. ' The blade'of the shearer makes a qnioKer mintage than the reaping machine of the farmer or the pick of the miner, and the shearing machinery latoly invented and proved to be good will increase the total clip by reducing the waste of fleece-to ne "minimum. Of all the men who handle the wool in the passage from the sheep's back to the weaving loom, the broker or other middleman has the best time of it. To everybody else concerned it meanß labor or anxiety of some kind, and the hardest labor falls to the shearer. The constant stooping, which aids the rough food of the shearing shed in its work of producing kidney disease, the danger of wounds from the too rapid Bhearing hand and of poison from thorns on the fleece, make the shearer's life a more than arduous one. He has all the worst life in the bush with a great deal of the insanitary surroundings of the town ; therefore, although shearers of great physical., strengte are not rare, it is not easy r to: find one whose digestive functions are.or have not been disorganised. Warner's Safe Cure is the shearer's medicine, and has cured wherever used. We give hereunder the text of a letter sent H. H. Warner & Co. by Mr T. Marohlaw :— 41 Warmambool, Victoria, Dec. 7, 1891. —For years I suffered from kidney disease and impure blood. My blood was in such an impoverished state, that if I out or scratched myself, the wound would fester and be months in healing. Warner's Safe Cure is a splendid medioine for shearers who are troubled with kidney complaint. Anyone that knows anything about shearing"cairteH how severe it is on the back, and the poor food and rough living tend to weaken the blood. After I had taken a few bottles of Warner's Safe Cure and Safe | Pills, my back became quite strong, and a few doses each week kept my blood in good condition. • m ...■__■.■_.**,.. I «T. MABCILAW." '
Almost exactly a year later, another shearer, Mr F. H. Cowdy, residing at Eavenswood (Qld.), writes, detailing a similar experience. Says Mr Oowdy on free' fird; 1592 ;— " About ,12 months ago, when '-Shearing on a stillioii iii the back country, I had a very bad attack of kidney complaint. The pains in my back were something terrible, so that I could not stoop. Sometime previously I had used Warner's Safe Cure for bush fever, and it had done me a lot of good, so I determined to give it a trial for my kidney trouble. I ordered (J bottles from Charters Towers. In 9 days from the lime I commenced its U3e I was at work again, and have not had an attack siDce. I have therefore good reason to believe it a wonderful medicine." The kidney disease and the liver trouble are common to shearer and clerk, city man and bush man, and Warner's Safe Eemedies are the infallible specifics in all cases to which they particularly apply. When you try the Safe Cures yon buy medicine made and sold on honor.
