Not That Which Exists A: Individ- uals, cumstance” Control Their Own Destinies. And How This Can Most Certainly be Done at All Times. Facts of Special Interest to the Un- happy and Disappointed, It is said people are ‘‘the creatures of circum- stance,” and this is often very trae, but it speaks very poorly for those people who are. There is little doubt that man should create his own destiny and control circumstances instead of being controlled by them. This is not impossible; it is easily accom- plished. Circumstances are made by mankind,and there is no reason, save the lack of will, why they ehould not be governed by the ones who make them. Especially is this true of the health. Nature's nor- mal condition is that of healthTalness, and the fac- ulties of the body are constantly working for that end. When they are abused or neglected they become deranged, but only then. It is certain, therefore, that we can choose our own destiny so far as health isconerned. This is our elective affinity. A vigorous and healthy young ma set all his am- bition to procure wealth. To this end he bent all his faculties. When middle life had arrived he pos- eessed the wealth, but his system was completely broken ard bis money only ministered to his mise- ry. His clective aftinity was weslth rather than happiness. In innumerable ways this result is ac- complished by thousands. Overwork, careless ex- posures, excesses, neglect of precaution, all bring about ill-health and consequently unhappiness. Tho most marked instance of this trath is to be found in the almost universal neglect of the liver and kid- neys. The most important orga.s of the human body, they seem to receive the least attention and most abuse. They are over-worked with improper solids and liquids and tnen left to struggle alone Sithout any assistance. Isitany wonder they rebel? It is true they are difficult to rightly reach, but it is not impossible. There have been thousands of rems- dies for the assistance of the liver, and very many for the kidneys, but only recently has any scientifio compound been found which will certainly regu- Iste, relieve and keep in perfect order both of these great bodily organs. Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure does this in all cases. It furnishes the food which the kidneys and liver require, just as meat provides the material for making blood. It also acts as a tonic to the entire system, and drives away the lassitude which this season brincs. In fact it is an affinity which all should elect to poa- sess. As druggists sell it in all parts of the world, this can easily be done. Do not neg DRY GOODs.
