Sad Blessings.
WrfiKE \Ve write this a. baby is bawllrtg so that odr nervea would b£ shattered after ten minutes of- It; supfjosilrifj that tfe had any nervei to be irritated by such ti sraKll matter. Who would be without children, once having known the incomparable happiness of their society. They have all your virtues and none of your vicei— you can look into their eyes and see yourself as you were once so long ago — you can feel for them that affection and pride and fear so strangely mingled which only the father can feel, and a merciful Fate does not draw the veil to show you them a few years older when they are no longar children but men and women, inheriting all your faults. But the mother, and not the father, is really the houseband. The mother holds them together, gives them the first education, and if need be, the last kiss. The mother is with them in all their joys and Borrows, and just as she loves them more she is made by them to suffer more than anybody else. Alluding to children, a well-known Australian poet says, " Sad blessings that a mother craves." Ay, sad blessing at their best. As childhood is a critical time for the character, so is it a dangerous time for the bodily system. Nearly all urinary weaknesses are evidenced during childhood. Every child suffering from incontinence in urine can be cured by Warner's Safe Cure. Nine out of ten children are subjected to this troublesome affection, especially at night, which is due in a great measure to a weakened condition of the controlling muscles. The causes which lead to such a condition are difficult to trace. Oftentimes errors of diet or the enervating effect of some debilitating disease may act as an exciting cause. Warner's Safe Cure acts as a strengthening agent directly upon the muscles, nerves and tissues of the affected parts, and furthermore Warner's Safe Cure will prevent and remove all forms of kidney, urinary and liver trouble. If the child is bilious, has a severe cold, or suffers with any form of rheumatic disease, Warner's Safe Cure will remove it. Chil dren who have had scarlet fever, measles, whooping cough, or any other severe malady, can with decided advantage be given W arner's Safe Cure, as it will prevent the kidneys from becoming inflamed, and will remove the inflammation after it has devel6ped. Many children suffer with Bright's disease, which resists the Usual treatment, but which yields to Warner's Safe Cure. We guarantee that Warner's Safe Cure can be taken with perfect safety any child however young.
