WITH THE CONDEMNED.
"Viotof Hugo, the genius to whom the world is grateful for the marvellous conception ot Jean Valjean, makes one of his most llirilling and analytical sketches 011 the thoughts of a condemned criminal. It is a wonderful thin?—you could believe after reading it tlmt. the author had "been
himself the central figure of a condemned oall. The agony of waiting—tho • frightful suspenoe - the daily dentil the prisoner dica ia his fear of the material death that is to oome - all are delineated with a terrible mad coolness. And ufter all the death is really not what Hie man fears, it is the certainty of it, the ee.ting apart .of a day when he will cease to 'be, the thought that after next Tuesday or "Wednesday he will be incapable of thought—ihese are the lorim It is not tho consummation but the preparation wherein lies the punishment, We are all tmdtr MiilenM of death, only we are respited indefinitely and we do not kaow the date fixed for out exeou tion. Leaving aside accident and old age the extension of the respite is in our own hands. With ordinary care,
rational living, and immediate attention to the liver or kidney trouble or the br&kefi nervous eystem which seems so trifling at the outset, the conservation of life to the limits of
old age is within the reach of everyone. Warner's Safe Reme-I dies are of all medicines the key j to longevity. Their constituents are such that they assimilate directly with the enfeebled system, and lead it back from the grave to the sunlight. Mr J. G. Doxey, Produce
Merchant, of Seymour, whose letter we publish below, gives the experiences of his truly serious condition and happy recovery: For thirty years I suffered from liver, kidney and
gravel diseases, and it would b8 impossible to give even a faint idea of the misery and pain I endured during that time. 1 was treated by several of the leading doctors in Melbourne, but] not one of thein could give me any hope of a recovery. They expected tuy complaints to develop into Briglit's disease. My lack and loins always seemed cold. After taking a few bottles of vS/iraCuro Ipassed a quanity of clotted blood, ufU r which I had ease. I Was so irritable that 1 could not bear to have anyone come near me or speak to me. I continued lakhs the Safe Cure for twelvo months j
. then fell I was quite cured. Jly wife fas afraid that the disease would re - urn and advised mo to continue tlu medicine in half doseß for a fiitthei leriod, which I did. That was ahoul liree years ago,and since thee I liavf lot felt anything of tho old troublt ind now am ablo to eat drink leep and work with pleasure. Mj riends never expected to see me aliv< o-day, much hss m ilie lull enjoy, ncnt of all my bodily powers, lau veil known in this district, having it lided here for about 25 yeara, am iundreds can testify to the truth o ,liese statements. I now weigh a stom ind a half more than before takin| iho medicine."
