SUICIDE 0F A BARONET.
A thrill of horror and profound sensation permeated London society, as well as the whole of the civilized world, when but a few months ago the sensational news appeared in the English Press, and was flashed aoross the continents, that. Sir Frodenob Tyndal Bobertson, 11. P., had committed suioide byoutting his throat with a rator in consequence of mental depression caused through illness. Nature revolts at . selidestruction, even when life has lost all charms for its possessor, and when existence is attended with ' naught, but misery. Yet, when loss of all that is doar to man or woman, when that prioeless pearl, man's reputation has beou filched; and' ■ driven a soul to tho depth of despair or when the body is racked with ceasolesa torments of pain, selfwrought destruction seems almost pardonablo, and the world is inolined to view the surroundingcircumstan I) of a suioide with a charitable oye, and with' that mercy which is the first_ virtue ol frail creatures, There, for instauoe, we find man's oareet suddenly closed in the noon ot manhood, and in the midst of bjs honorable, and useful labors. Such incidents read a lesson muoh. more impressive than any which the most; ehquentproaoher or most versatile writer could possibly depiol. What is honor, wealth, :diatinotion, compared to the priceless blessing of health? How many a man is daily living on tho verge of hisjesources, suffering from ■ " a slight touoh of liver complaint" or" kidney affection," until, ales/he sinks down under the weight of awnniulated disease, leaving a diaconsolaQtefamilrto mourn over his severe dispensation ; or, how often is man not called upon to lament the premature demise of his sons or; daughte'rs,i tihol oalledaway in the bloom of .youth . and beauty, became'death's remorseless prey ? The sorrow-stricken parent thus finding himself abaudoned in' his declining age, in his bitterness of grief, arraigns what appears Whim the mysterious and inscrutable- ways of Prorata. Bather than accuse the meroiful justice of Providence let us know the.laws'under which it acts. Could tho angel of meroy unbar tho doors of death and count the many, victims which year by year prematurely enter its gates, the great bulk' of the awake to a sense. of their" grave responsibility;'"' for iV :may be safely asserted, that where m has slain thousands, diseases of kidney and liver have slain tens of thousands. Surely the pxperjonoe of 'modem times will not'oonlinuefor' over to lift its warning voioe to mankind in vain. Thosoin health should fortify their system,; while' those impaired and debilitated in their ■' system should not delay a moment to recruit their vital pows by » courso of Warner's safe oiire, which .restores.) .-constitutional; strength. .These facts are persistently demonstrated by the endorse?' merits of responsible colonists, many of which, through'the tigehby of this medicine.'hav'e" been literally lifted
frsm the grave." We quote tboVei-y Bevd. P. Dunne, Vioav-Goneral o' tlia GatholioDioooso, Albury, N.S.W.> who, under tlia dalo May 14,' 1800, . . speaks as follows:-"I havo need several bottles of Warner's safe cure, . Lyhile'.suffering from pains in the and loins, due to, disorder of tho livor and kidneys, and found prompt and great relief. 1 have therefore, much: pleasure in certifying accord- . ingly.!' Mrs E.' Payne, of Alburv, writes us:-" For tho past thrco years I havo been tho subject of a most, distressing disease of the; kidneys though there were «o. particular paiiij, but snbse- . quently, aud'now sorao twelve months since, fearhil pains invadod all parts of .my body. Ultimately dropsy Bet in, ; my stomach became preternatarally distended and filled .with.water, actually bringing me to J lie brink of the grave An analysis f my urmfc'sliowed a largo percentage of albumen, proving that I was strioken with tho droad Blight's Disease, I recominonded the use of Warner's safe cure, and alter one full bottle the kidneys resumed their action and the dropsy abated. Prior to taking it the water bad to be removed by surgical means. A subsequent analysis also showed that Jlie albumen was lessening. To be k f brief, I have now used 8 or 9 bottles of safe cure, and overy trace of this grave and so-called fatal disease has been subdued." Mr Thomas Elliott, Mayor, of Castlemaine, Victoria, under date Juno 7, certifies:-" I have token a number of bottles of Warner's safo euro when ..laboring under a serious affection of the ldduoys and liver. Thore were signs of persistent indigestion and the train of its distressing ailments. These symptoms have been permanently removed, and I can faithfully recommend Warner's .Safe Cure." llr E. D. Williams, r E.8.0,J.F, of Castlemaine, under date June 9,1890, slates :-For two years or more I suffered at times most severely from congestion of the livor. Thero was a constant enlargement, causing excruciating pains, and making lifo almost insupportable. A kind of liatlcssness and irritability took hold of mo. Suffering as desoribed for many years, and failing to get any relief from tho remedies of the schools. I resorted to tho use of Warner's Safe Cure, when, after 1 Jwd taken four bottles, all swelling of >Sie liver went down, and with it all pains vanished." Therefore, do not negloot tho symptoms denoting disorder t>f kidneys and liver, as suoh is tantamount to suicide; but have prompt resource to that remarkable speoifio, whose unfailing efficacy is matter of general comment.
