._„~VOLGANIO ERUPTIONS. nature's forces as that in Now Zealand is hardly conceivable, Only a vague uuoartaih idea can bo conjured up, of the tremendous upheaval of a volcanic disturbance ~. But the terror which oven this'faint picturei of tho truth presents to the mind,, is-perhaps superior to any "isplrad by other calamities. With storm Nnd shipwreck wo are familiar. Wo accept these "disasters as inevitable. To *«ide'tnV by 'field, and lloud we are so accustomed that they excite only a passlutf'a'gitatidn, and fleeting sympathy. But indeed something awful and aropendoiis in the action of an earthquake which paralyses ordinary courage and breaks down the bravest and most fearlmii." There-is no art within the reach of Wan, by which those Titanie convulsions my be ohscked, subdued or controlled. In tha presence of this great movement, tliia bursting assunder of bonds that have long held tho soothing cauldron within the; bosom of the earth in bounds, man sttnds powerless and impotent. Even as they stood who of old beheld the wataw encompassing the oa'rth, swell and gwaeh over that earth, so stand we in the terrible to.contoinplate. The absolute helplessness of man under such circumstances appals and bewilders the best and bravest. And yet, regarded philosophically, , there are torrora as dread and awful of : familiar and daily occuranco. If we only knew how close we tread upon the verge of death every day of our live 3, this connofnaturoin. Now Zealand would r,trifling, when placed beside the daHgera.that beset us on all sides. The lives last by this outburst at Rotam&hana are. as, nothing compared to the lives whiijh are daily andjiourly lost by disease liejlecfc,.and ill-treatment.' We'read of sudden deaths every day in the newspapers. .Butwe feel little trouble about thessfacts, heedless that we ourselves may.be in peril of a similar fate, Who expected Sir John O'Shannassy to die so iuddonly,'or Judge Fellows, or Judge BariyJ Aridweourselvea never suspect that w.inejr come to a similar pass. Wo deeaj all men mortal but ourselves, If v* Miff we pooh-pooh any suggestion ♦flseaer. We are like those who, at have boen living' on the OT|b of a, volcano for years past. They &W ft, Lot never deemed that there WMSBy' chance of any eruption such as lim overtaken them. So with us in dupje,LWe forget or ignore the fact S»i S^t. health under the conditions aj modern civilization is impossible,- • and only. by .checking the 'insidious' appftaeh of disoase can-we hope to preserve our life, forces unimpaired. Profw«| William Roberts of the Royal ColUfle of Physicians, London, discoursing of sudden death, ■ speaks of the condition of those who suffer as "part of 3 wide spread tissuo degeneration, involving tha entire body." Diseases which culminate in sudden death are slight in origin, slow in development,. and are traceable to minor causes," which, 1 if taken in tirao cuuld be driven put of the system. Like the volcano, they, feed on themselves, until they burst forth and bring annihilation, and death to those in whose blond J;he tire has existed, tainting and poisoning the whole system, Hereditary taint, and the invisible poison which lurks in tho arteries and vessels of the body are most commonly the causes of the ailment known as heart diseaso. But heart dosease is. essentially an effect ef the degeneKgkni of .the system. Sudden death on be. traceable absolutely'to the stflppageTof the heart's action, but the eanse of this is found in the -disorganisation ot the blood, debility of the nervous system, dogoneraey of the kidneys and liver, Heart deseaso, vertigo, appoploxy, jaralysis, are all effects not causes, The leal cause is ttacoablo to a weakened condition of the body, brought about bv the noaeot of some vital organ. Twitching imTconvulisiim of the muscles, headaches, drowsiness, dimness of sight and hearing, nausea, persistent hot and dry skin, a peeoliar transparent appearance of the akin, swelling of the ankles, rheumatic pains, irritability, morose temper, ehorfcness of breath, nervous dyspepsia--these and a hundred other symptoms iudicato the presence" of ,gmvo danger. There aro few who have'liiit" experienced one or many o.'" signals .of nature, -There are thousands to/whom they are -hourly -familiar, ■ but whii live on, regardless of their peril, uvt-n as they did. whe dwelt on the margin of the romantic lakes which' are now a seething cauldron in New Zealand.' If these would but realize ihat in ninety nine cases out of a hundred the primary cause of their troubles lies in "*•' -indifcion of the kidneys, . —ily set themselves: right. Warner's safe xuro is the acknowleged remedy under such conditions. By-its in the blood are purgud from the system,' add the fire and taint, which nourish and promote disease cease to oxist. Professor llary is of opinion that unless the coni in New' Zealand is exhausted jy a wave of'the earthquake may be wpteted to affect Australia. But howaver that may be; we ■ have the consolation ef knowing that there must be a termination to the disaster. Not so with a disease such as we have indicated, unless we are wise enough to fortify ourselves against attaok by the use of the incomparable le'medj above-named, Then, secure ajjainst tfep enemy, we may, calmly pass fcroujh perils of contagion or infection gush jjfovercome those who neriect the prewutions which make us armour proof, even ai the burning ashes and seething, nud'ahowertoverwhelmed the 1 iinfortun-.' ato people who-were victims to the terrible disaster at Rotomahana, SMART'S Opposite N.Z.
