A PROLONGED EXISTENCE.

Death was not man's inheritance, but life; Earth was intended fur a paradise of bliss, Unfading beauty, and eternal spring, i Till sin invited dire disease into the world. "No nation can be truly great uolws its people be healthy and h»ppy, both socially and morally," remarks a modern writer ; and similar sentiments hare been expressed by the philosophers of all ages, even if we turn back to the most ancient people. "Asound mind can but dwell in a sound body," s<iid the ancient Roman. To be successful in life men must purify their system before the mind can have its action in motion, and riso equal to the battle of life. The fervid preacher of the Gospel, the eloquent advocate of liberty. the mariner exposed to the storm, the mechnnlc bent double in his workshop, all ire liable to invasion of disease. Were ready means taken to re-invigerate the system whenever its powers are felt to be on the decline, disease could not invade the citadel of life. Yet often, when one dies of physical transgression, when * time'y course of medicine would have prevented the inroad of disease, and prolonged life, we hear it proclaimed from the sacreil desk that the death is " providential." Aye, a serious mistake, for it lulls people into security, and instead of arousing, quiets their fears. It is true that the science of medicine has not always kept progress with the march of civilisation. In this very age all seem to be running a r«ce—from the infant to the matured individual—as to who shall first reach the grave. But this rock in our nation's pathway has been observed, and has led to the adoption of more vigorous measure*, among which the " Warner's Safe Remedies" .take a lead ng p'ace. That firm's famous liver and kidney specific—the "Warner's Sam Cure " has by this time wort such a general reputation, due to the fact that it is the on'y known cure for complicated kidney comp'aints and Bright'* disease. Its gieat efficacy is i borne ou* by a great number of strong and distinguished testimonials, amon? which we find m*ny well-known heralds of the Cross. Amonsr, those who warmly endorse u Warner's Sa?b Remedies," are the Rev. Walter Roberts, M.A., of Scotland, now in Brisbane ; Very Rev. Henry Plume, Archdeacon of North Queensland ; the widely-known Rev. Win. Poole, ot Brisbane ; the Rev. Willixm Powell, Methodist minister of Rockhamplon; the Rev. John Robson, of Molong ; the Rer. Rob. S. Willis, of Manly Beach, Sydney; the Tery Rev. Dean Mahn?. -f Penrith; the Rev. William Campbell, of Dunedin, N.Z. ; the Bey. Ben. Vanes, of Waikauaiti, N.Z. j Rev E. E. Chambers, tyttelton, N.Z. ; Rev. Thomas brassington, Clermont Queensland, Rer. R. Keily, TasJ, Victoria. Testimonies, coming from such responsible sources must awaken in every refecting mind the necessity of looking after our bodily as well as spiritual health. individual inherits a given amount of physical and mental strength. We have no to right fritter away and carelessly dispose of such a gl*fiouß inheritance as is strength iof body and energy of brain. Testimonies from responsible personages, as quoted above,- bearing on the high efficacy of " Warner's SAfa Remedies," should show our population the guide to vigorous health, and open the avenue of attainment of whttt the good and wise in all ages have believed in, and what our sacred writings' so repeatedly! promise—a joyous, healthful, and greatly prolonged existence.
