THE GREAT RACE.
Tho race forthe Melbourne Cup of 1892 has oomo and gone, and the
anticipations of thousands of people 9 for a year have disappeared in something under tho space of four minutes —some uro richer (and more poorer) by those'four minutes' experience, in which tens of thousands felt an intoxijL cation something akin of the influence "*->, of wine, There is a greater race than even ibis enormous Oup event. From birth until old age man is engaged in a contCßt with Death; and only those who are swifterthan the Reaper stay above ground for uny length of time. Have you never felt as a young man the prido of simply kinfl Youcx* perienco it rno3t on a spring morning, when you enjoy the true health of | 1 absolute Utieonsciousnoss m to the possession of heart, lunge, kidneys, liver, or any digestive apparatus at all. You uro almost strong enough to walk indefinitely, or you feel that a push of your powerful shoulder could -force down a wall. As for Death, you laugh at him; you snap your fingers in bis f'aco and defy his power; and •* by-and-bye yon distance him, and lie remains a crest-fallen lasgard, miles away in your rear, But there comes a day when your step is slow and your eyes are dimmed, and Death, aided by Disease—who is one of his progenitors-catches you again, and .repays you all the insults and sneors ~~&yovL gave him in the days of your strength while he races neck and neck * with you for the goal. And in these days of unnatural bnsinessexciteuient, and rapid living and thinking, the greatest aid of the dreaded dark horse, who is galloping so steadily and so silently, is that most common scourge, kidney disease, Uric acid poison is tho most frightful cause of disease, Bright's disease, rheumatism, gout, gravel, stone, and numerous other complaints are directly traceable to its presence in the blood. The only medicines so far known having any direct and permanent cure effectivo on these diseases aro Warner's Safe Cure aud Pills. They have proved their efficacy beyond cavil, while additional substantiation of their wonderfulinfluenoc is coming in day by day.
