RESCUED FROM MADNESS.

"The power of God sets bounds to the raging of the sea, and restrains the madness of the people."

King Charles. Mad, exclaims a modern wiifcer, is ooe of those words which mean ilmost everything and nothing, und indeed, among llio fcfflictioes to which human life is subject, the loss of reason is the most calamitous of all. There is nothing -noie appalling to the refined feeliDga than maD, endowed with intellect, whoso reason gnvo wny under the weight of acuumulaied woe. His ideas r.ro dissevered, his attachments perhaps converted into hatred. Deprived of his faculty by which in&n is distinguished from the beasts that peri&h, the human form is frtqueotly the mo&t remarkable attribute that he retains o£ his proud distinction, and that form laboring under mental aberration soon gives w»y to till forms of bodily grievances. More frequeutly still, bodiiy disease proves the precursor of insanity. It is known that sleeplessness has been the forerunner of disease of the brain, and too close application toßtudy has unhinged many a strong intellect in weakened frames. Trough happily a email percentage of suffering mankind is smitten'with derangement of the mental faculties, yet maoy cases are on record where mans intellect became implicated secondarily and gave way under the strain of severe bodiiy affliction. A esse in point is that'of Mr. M. W. Hale, of Beltana, S. A., who relies his fearful experiences QDd.his"rescue from madness in the following grateful sentences:— "From loDg residence in the bu=h and its attending privaiipnp, such as want of suitable food, I got into a bud slate of health, until my menUl faculties became quite disordered, which I have no doubt originated from kidney troubles. Wtii!e in lln's distressing enndition Waroei'j Sife Cure was brought into the house for another member of our family, but Providence 1 believe prompted me to tmje some of it. After fusing the medicine'the kidneys resumed their proper action, the water literally poured from my throat and the back of toy neck. lam happy to siy I have ngain perfect control of my actions and often return thanks to God aod next to Mr. Warner, for yourmedicinedoes more than you claim for it, it gives back what is more valuable than life itself, viz. \ man's reason. Mrs Walter 'Muir, Mornington, Dunodin, N.Z., volunteersthe following startling evidence: " Three yoars ago, my boii, aged.2s, while attending the wedding of a relative at Clinton, broke a blood vessel, and was brought home in a dying state. We did not expect that he would survive, and the Sacrament was administered to him. He i was in an utter state of co lapse. Ido not I think he could have rallied but for the use of Warner's Safe Cure, wbich imparted great strength to his weakened body, and with the aid of which, »fter the use of 6 hottlep, my son recovered his strength. My husbind had been in bad health for some time, but influenced by the sudden illness of my son, surrounded by its peculiar circumstances, seemed so heavily to prey upon him as to unhiDge his mind. He became extremely violent, aDd though ! for some time/in the Asylum he did not leave the institution by any means a sane man, but broken down in body and mind. He now tried the effects of Warnet's Safe Cure and Safe Pills, which I had procured for him, and we soon found him gaining strength bodi'y and mentally. Wnen my husband had consumed 10 bottles of ■ Warner's Safe Cure-with a few vials of ■ Warner's Safe Pills, he had completely recovered from his physical infirmities, and with his restoration to health, his 'reason had returned.
