NEARLY BOWLED OUT!

Peopl« who disregard sanitary procau'ions at the present, lime are either woofn ly ignorant of the po il they run, or ate. shamefully reckless. Typhoid, which is spreading its octopus fooler* in ail directions, is a terrible disease, Dis riot that its immediate action is specially dang-* poos lc life ; the real evil lies in the debiii y which it leaves b hind. Ark the physician and he will give you ft grim list of the ailments which follow on the track of this pestilence Deafness, dimness of sight softening of the brain, muscular and nervous atony, idiocy, or imbecility—these are some of i-c dimeters which threaten the unhappy victim of typhoid attack. It is thus apparent that what we have to guard against is not so much typhoid itself, but the consequences which result from it. Nevertheless, when the devil is about, The saint often smells brimstone,” os the Spaniards say, and when typhoid ie in the air, lurks in the dust bin, is hidden in our drinking water, and contaminates, more cr less, the whole of our surroundings, we must prepue to bo smitten. It is well, in such case, to know of a restorative agent, which, if taken when the patient is suffering the dire after effects of the attack, returns to the blood those saline elements which have been lost, and enables nature to throw off the poisons that have been accumulated in the system. Mr C. Walker, who resides at 48 Mount-street, Pyrraont, Sydney. N.S.W., writes as follows Having suffered from typhoid fever for seven months, during which time I. had four relipees, 1 need not say bow prostrated I was, but I must say Warner’s safe euro he a been to me both safeyand speedy, and certain. lam now quite well, and enjoy a cricket match as much as before rny illness.” Mr Walker being fond of outdoor sports, and well braced by exercise, was naturally bettor enabled to fight against the terrible odds, which would have sent most people to the cemetery. But in the end he would have fallen into a most lamentable condition had he not resorted to (he agent which has once more restored him to health and the cricket fiald. The lesson this teaches should not be lost upon others, who perchance, havii-g loss vital power of resistance to disease, nod, all the more, the help of this exceptional remedy. In the case we refer to, Mr Walker was playing a losing game, and that swiftest of bowlers, death, had nearly taken his wicket. He gratefully records that ho owes it to the abovenamed means, that he was enabled to win the match.
