THE LIVER'S WORK. . By "Regulator." The liver may lie described as an exceedingly complicate l chemical laboratory. The blood which enters the liver through the portal vein is loaded with the products of the digestion of I food. These products the liver deals with in such a manner that the composition of the blood when it leaves the liver is very much changed, a port of secondary digestion having taken place in the liver. Bile has been manufactured out of the blood; iiric acid, which it* practically insoluble,' has been converted into urea, whioh is completely soluble. A substance called glycogen hat? be em made from the sugar in the blood and stored in the liver for future use, and various' other transformations have taken place. The iiver/also removes from the ■ blood red corpuscles which are worn out, and are of no further utility. The liver makes and extracts from the blood two or three pounds of bile every day. The bile is delivered into the 'intestines, and acts as a natural cathartic, besides assisting in the digestion of fatty food anil retarding the decomposition of sucL food as it passes along the intestines. The glycogen formed is retained in the liver, and is again converted into sugar, which is supplied to the blood gradually, and in such quantity as may be necessary for the blood's enrichment. Now, if the liver fails to do its work thoroughly, it follows that the bkxxl, instead of having its substance,dealt with and cleansed in the manner described, ie carried by the veims to every part of the body in a condition which is inimical to the welfare of the body. In. other words, the blood is laden with biliary poisons, and it is the presence of these biliary'poisons in, the blood which causes us to suffer from indigestion, biliousness, sick headache, general debility, anaemia and jaundice. If the liver properly performs its functions, the blood distributed is pure, and nourishes the nerves, instead of being laden with poisons which irritate.the whole nervous system,, and give rise to the disorders named. A wonderful remedy in oases of disease or inactivity of tlie livor is found in Warner's Safe Cure, which for thirty years has proved .its efficacy continuously, even, when treatment by all other means had failed. Sufferers from a disordered liver should lose no time in availing themselves of the relief to be obtained from this valuable specific. In addition to the regular 5s and 2s 9d bottles of Warner's Safe Cure, a concentrated form of the medicine is now issued at 2s Gd per bottle. Warner's Safe Cure (Concentrated,) is not «compounded with alcohol, and contains the same number of doses as the 5s bottle of Warner's 1 Safe Cure. .11. 11. Warner and Co., Limited, Melbourne. Vic.

MODERN MUSICAL ADVANTAGES. It is curious to remember that, up till a very few years ago, musical instruments in the home were a monopoly of people of means. They were defective instruments enough at tliat. When the melodious Campion wrote his charming airs and lyric, 1 here was not a piano in England. To-day, no house is completely homely unless there is a piano in it. The Dresden Piano Company. Ltd., stocks only excellent instruments, and supplies them on such terms as brings them easily within the reach of everyone. Local representative, Mr T. B. Hunter.
