And_ Disease a More Im J ortant Fact to Us All Than Ki her. Truths for Scientists—Good News for All There are very many things passing on around us each day which are shrouded in mystery and can- not be accounted for. The wonderful power in the atmosphere and the changes it constantly under- goes; the varions acts of electricity; the influence of matter upon mind and mind upon matter are ail unaccountable and yet actual facts. Nor is this wonder lessened when we look into the human or- «anization. The mysterious influences which cause life, which inspire thought, and thus guide the world’s aff airs, are all reat facts, but cannot be accounted for. In the midst of so much mystery we naturslly feel a sense of awe. We wonder if some small por- tion of the human machinery should get ont of or- der, what the result would be, and we fear disaster from the powers we cannot comprehend. It is nat- ural we should doso. It is reasonable we should wonder what would become of us if the delicate machinery of the brain shou!d xet broken. It is natural we thould ask what the result wonld be if the million tissues of ihe liver or kidneys should be- come disordered. Unfortunately, this queation does not arise so often as it should, for there are few persone who do not have either a diveased liver or disordered kidneys. Startling a8 this fact may seem, itis none the less true. We go not realize the presence of disease in these delicate members because they seldom have any pain, and this ren- ders itallthe more dangerous. It seems strange that while eo much is done for other parts of the kody, 80 little should be provided for the help of these two great organs. They are dependent on each other, and one is seldom well when the other and value of the most important of modern discoy- cries, Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, are apparent. It acts upen both liver and kidneya in a direct and certain manner, and invariably relieves and strengthens both. It puts them in a healthy condition when ctherwise they would become in- flamed. It gives a pleasing tonic to the entire sys- tem and harmonizes all the parts. Druxgists throughout ihe world sell it, and the opportunities for thus obtaining its benefits are brought near to everyone. It will solye the mystery of ood health, and keep back theday on which comes ‘the Great Mystery.” —_—_—__._ CITY ITEMS. Lopruie’s HEADACHE SpxcIric Is so mild that a child can take it.
