DEPEW'S NOTION.

The Hon Chauncey M. Dephew carries a very heavy life insurance. His notion is worry and anxiety that shortens the lives of most businebß men; that the worry is chiefly owing to their anxiety to leave their families provided for when they die. So he carries £120,000 insurance on his life; few can afford to carry so much, and many would think the care of such an amount likely to cause worry and anxiety. Too much money is sometimes as great an anxiety breeder as too little. The very wealthy are nousually the longest livers. Worry begets ill-health more than bard work no doubt. People who worry the ' most about their health seldom have the best. Those who never have time or take time, to think they are sick, seldom are. There are none, however, who can hope to be always well; accidents or exposure being low the healthiest, but there is no sense in giving up hope the moment one is stricken down. A gallant officer of the !aie war was struck down by a cannon ball at Gettysburg. _He was carried to the rear and examined by a surgeon, who told him : "You cannot live;' "You lie," he replied ; "I will live." And he did. Will power keeps many men above ground who would otherwise be in their graves. It is commonly believed that kidney disease is incurablo, but it is not. To be sure, thousands succumb to it every year. It was a regular scourge in years gone by ; but nowadays thousands of persons write to us every year, as does Mr W. Stagg. of Castlemaine, Victoria. "For seven years or more, I have been a martyr to kidney disease, whish gave me so much pain and trouble that I apprehended the most serious consequences. I cheerfully acknowledged that with the use of three bottles of Warner's safe cure the disease was eradicated." And Mr Joseph White, of Warruambool, Victoria, says, "Towards the end of 1889, J was suffering from a Bevere form of kidney disease, which was gradually undermining my strength. For some time, though award that health was failing.l felt no pains, but in time I was afflicted wiih pains in the regions of the kidneys. After the use of a number of bottles of Warner's „£*« cure, mv pains ceased, my appetite a * d l § rew stroD § again."
