THE WORLD'S LATEST BEREAVEMENT.
Spurgeon, the wonderful preacher, is dead! This extraordinary genius, who at 1G years of age became a disciple as of old, with the celestial (ire strong in him as if the first Penticost had been but yesterday, who from boyhood held the heart strings of his audiences in his hands acd swayed v them as ho pleased, eventually becoming the greatest of great Eyango—will he soon be replaced ?We uro to think he will not. Genius, like gold, is exceedingly patchy, and such men rise once in a century. Spurgeon's life-work, unlike that of the men who speak only, but do not write, lives after him. His writings and sermons have reached editions of hundreds of thousands, are distribu« ted throughout the universe, being mementos of the indefatigable industry and marvellous devotion to the main object of his career—the welfare of mankind. The malady wbicb bore this eininent divine out of a life of happy use , fulness, was ono which- causes more premature deaths than almost any other known disease. The slow poison that snapped bis life-strenm was that known as Bright 1 !! Disease of the Kidneys—the erstwhile supposed incurable affection which tho ordinary Materia Mcika is absolutely powerless to combat. But Warner's Safe Cura, by its infallible curative efieots, is making great headway professional prejudice, for the virtues of this remedy, its long establishment and continued success, are breaking down the barrier to its adoption, and it is becom- *■ ing the only recognised specific in ; severe cases of Blight's Disease. Considering its positive certainty of effect when applied, it is to be deprecated that it is not more generally administered in the cases of eminent men, 1 whose brilliant intellects for want of 1 its use become obscured and lost to ' the world when their sun i 3 shining ( in all its noonday splendor. I &s a matter of fact the benefits of i Warner's Safe Cure for Bright's ' Disease have hitherto been partici- 1 pated in chiefly by those who have J failed to get relief by any other means, j One.instance of this is verified.in the j r experience of Mr W. D. Thomas, of Bendigo, Victoria, a man well-known in mining and share broking'circles, i who says under date, 22nd December, • 1891, Messrs H. H. Waiweb & Co, Gentlemen, 'Wfi giving you a brief history of my r/ent illness, which, after increasing in intensity during a period of about 4 years, finally culminated in Bright's Disease of the kidneys, accompanied byenlargment and pain in the liver; I will first allude to the chief symptoms. There were vertigo, sleeplessness, great sediment in the urine, swelling and dropsy of the ankles, extreme weakness and debility 8 so as to be unable to walk 60 yards s uphill, and great loss in weight. T Medical advice was sought at various v times and from many sources, but all to no purpose so far as any good ' effeots were produced. Finally, see- ® ing no improvement in my condition, but rather the reverse, I was per- ® fluaded by some members of my ® family to try your Safe Cure and 5 Safe Fills; in which I was encouraged f . and confirmed by reading the testi.. . inony in your pamphlet of Mr Geo. j Thureau, F.G.S., of Tasmania, with ' whom I had been on terms of intimacy * jfrpreviousyears. Iso far persevered the medicines, that for & period , pi six months I took 2J bottles of fjafe Cure per week, and the necessary * quantity of Pills. I may say also * that I strictly adhered to your dietary '' spale and other instructions, by . which, no doubt, the cure was accelerated. " The happy result is that a gradual jimprovement in all respeots has been *' effected in my system, particularly as ' to the elimination of albumen from urine, until at the present time, I cm ® not only quite woll, but enjoy better ' health than I have for many years past and have recovered normal ' weight, [ (Signed.) W, D. Thojja?, Mining and Share Investor, 11
