RESCUED FROM MADNESS.
11 The power of God bc-1s bounds to the raging ol the sea, and reslraina the modiKis of the people." Kimj (Jharla k Mad, oxclaims a modem writer, is one of those words' which mean almost everything and nothing, and indeed, among the alilicliona to which human life is subject, the loss of rem is, the most calamitous of all. There i 3 nothing mors appalling to the refined .feelings than man , endowed with intellect, , whose reason /J*. gave way. under tlio weight of accumulated w'rie. His ideas ate deserved, his attachments perhaps converted into hatred. Deprived of his faculty by which mau is distinguished from the beasts that perish, the-human form is frequently the most remarkable attribute that he 1 retains of his'proud distinction, , and 1 that form laboring under mental aberration soon gives way to all : forms of bodily grievances. More frequeuty still, bodily diseaso proves tlio precursor of insauity, It is Imomt that eleeplesinesa lias been the forerunner of disease of the brain, and too close application to sturdy intellect in weakened frames. Though happily a small percentage of ' suffering mankind is smitten with derangement of the .mental faculties, 1 yet mauy caqes are on record where ■ man's intollect. became implicated j secondarily and gave way undor jjie • Btrain of severo bodily affliction,"" A
case in point is that of Mr M. W. , Hale, of Beltana, S.A., who relates Lis fearful osyeriencea, and his v' rescue from madiiess, in the following grateful sentences:-From long residence" in the bush and its attending privations, suth as the waut of suitable food, I got into a bad state of health, until my mental faculties became quite disordered, which I have no doubt originated from kidney troubles. Whilo.in this distressing condition Warnor'g Safe (Cure was brought into the house for another member of our family, but Providence I believe prompted ine to take some of it. After using the medicine the kidneys resumed their proper action, the water literally poured from my throat and tht back of my neck, I am so happy to say I have again perfect control of my actions, and often return thanks to God and next to Mr Warner, for your medicine does more than you claim for it, it gives back what is. moro valuable than life itself, viz., man's reason. Mrs WalterMuir, Momington, Dunedin, N.Z,, volunteers the following startling evidence Three years Jr ago, my son, aged 25, while attending the wedding of a relative at Clinton, i broke a blood vessel, and was brought I • home in a dying state, We did not expect that he would-survive, and the sacrament was administered to him, He was in an utter state, of collapse. I do not think lie could have rallied but for the use of Warner's Safe Cure, .which imparted great strength to his weakened body, and with the aid of which, after the use of 6 bottles, my son recovered his strength.- My husband had been in bad health for somo time, but influenced by the sudden illness of my son, surrounded by its peculiar circumstances,,seemed bo heavily to prey upon him as to unhinge his mind. Ho became extremely violent, and though for some time in the asylum ho did not leave the institution by any means a saiie man| but broken down in body and mind. Ho now tried the effects of Warner's Safe Cure and Safe Pills, Which I had procured for him, and we soon found gaining strength bodily and mentally. When my husband had consumed 10 bottles of Warner's Safe Curo with afew vials of Warner's Safe Pills,' he liad completely recovered from his physical infirmities, and with' liis restoration to health, his reason had returned.
