INFLUENZA Al’ ITS HEIGHT. : When this epidemic a months ago made its appearance in Europe and sudl denly crossed the Atlantic, we predicted, 1 with accuracy, that this latest'scourge would be .brought to our The disease has so far appeared in a mild form] which .happily, stands, in pleasing Icon.trast to the destruction caused. |>y ( epidemics id times past, when they', wire, of a mostvirulent type. It is recorded that Europe w»s once subjected to such a visitation,! which it is estimated swept away one; fourth of the popu'ation. i Therefore it is' but natural that the appearance of these diseases should bo ,regarded with alarm and, consternation., The swiftness wiihi which the epidemic spreads, its origin and diffusion, clearly prove that there roust be something in the elements causing disease. Subsequent researches established the theory of germs by whichi Influenza, Small Pox,;Typhoid and kindred diseases are transmitted. , The microscopical part; of a pustule taken from a small pox patient! introduced into the body,of a, healthy| person multiplies and grows until. the; whole surface is covered with pustules. Though we have not entirely obliterated the small pox germs, fortunately the disease baa become rare, and does not cause the same amount of disfiguration and it did in bye-gone days. This happy change is attributed to the,discovery j of the immortal Jenner, by which we are able to prevent the appearance of this terrible affliction, or at least modify its operation, TjTitK the samel confidence it may be asserted that we pap now stay the ravages of typhoid and check the outbreak of influent by ; - guarding the, system against the inroad of disease. germs. Neglect in this matter is fraught with sad ( consequences, for even from the vast! sacrifice of life those diseases have caused, wo do not realize the full power of evil on epidemic of this kind exercises ; we have to take into account the large number of patients left permanently enfeebled after haying passed through an ordeal of ■ sickness. It is within our power to check,the spread of influenza, as well as fever, of any kind, by paying., strict attention to the direction of bur sanitary reformers and by fortifying the human organism against dit-eae germs, by restoring the liver and kidneys to healthy action by the use ;0f Warner’s safe cure. That this medicine has proved a veritable scientific triumph is daily attested by responsible and grateful colonists. Mr. W. Howard Leonard, M.L.A., member for Carlton, under date Melbourne, April 4, 1890, stales “ 1 have taken several bottles of Warper’s safe cure for enlargement of the liver, as we|i as setiqps disorder of tfie kidneys, and the result that attended the use of the medicine, justify mo in endorsing its high curatiue properties.” The Kev. A. McWatt Allen, Presbyterian minister, Charters Towns, (Q., certifies under recent date; —“ Some,two or three years since I was laboring under great liver and kidney difficulties, causing periodical headaches and pains in the back, charapteristig of disorder of the kidneys. I also sustajned an entire loss of appetite, and suffered from impaired digestion. For this complication of ailments 1 used Warner’s safe cure, with excellent results.. 1 found it wpl? adapted, not only for these complaints, Bub have also noticed a great many cases of' lojy'feyer speedily checked and cured through the aid of this flee medicine.” These are telling words which support our assertion in every particular. There are numerous cases, where the fell destroyer, known as Bright's disease, or kidney complications, almost equally dpstrpptiyej bad a fast hqld of h|s victim, but gafo cpre came out triqmphant 5 b cases which were absolutely beyond, the reach of paedipal science, :
