"Ignorance of Law
Excuses No One. "
This maxim applies with
especial force to Ignorance of
the laws of health. Every
man and woman of intelli
gence knows the physical
fact that the blood reaches
the remotest parts of the
human body. If there is &
disturbance anywhere , why
should one ignorantly sup
pose that the seat of the
malady is local ?
Is it not more rational to suppose that
( ho impure condition of the blood is
doing the mischief , as it is ? Experience
hus demonstrated the fact that this ia
the case in 05 nor cent , of cninphiintH.
If your " life a Mood " in pure , natiiro
wil | take care of thq rest , llood'b Sar-
fapnrilla enables yon to clcanee your
blood of all impurities and mnko it strong

Let us. my Rood friends , always suit out
tools to the wcrk to be done. Wo do not
trim our nails with broadswords or carve
statues with adzes. Now , n word Is a too ) ,
just as n (100 ( Is , or a razor. The figure ot
Liberty on a quarter of a dollar Is Im
pressed there by a machine made for tht <
purpose. By the same token words were
Invented to Imprint thoughta and Ideas on
the minds of others. And every word or
expression has a currency meaning of Its
own so long as wo refrain from using them
In n alack or careless way.
Just ns the Lord Mayor's coach , or one's
own beet clothes , arc not Intended for every
llltlo trumpery occasion , so great words
should be reserved till the time comes when
nothing else will do. When a man singes hia
whiskers by the slovenly handling of n
lighted match , we do not rouse up the fire
department.
Now , the word "excruciating" Is ono of
the strongest words In the English languag- .
It tingles with sharp significance ns n black
cat's back snaps with electricity on a frosty
night , Only shallow people will take lib
erties with this word. In our ordinary talk
It does not come prorcrly Into play once n
year , and rightly so. For It alludes to n
kind of mental or physical suffering that
wo desire to avoid thinking or speaking ot.
If the root meaning of the word "excruciat
ing" escapes you for n moment , look It up In
the dictionary. It Is n word with a pedigree ,
and Its ancestors have supped with horrors
slnco men began to make history.
The question , then , that you and I have to
settle Is , whether Mr. Geo. B. Simpson em
ployed this dignified and exclusive word
justifiably when ho said , "I was troubled
twelve years with much pain In the small ot
my back. So continuous wns It that I ceased
to take pleasure In work. Indeed , I ceased
to take pleasure altogether. With mo life
got to be a thing to endure , not to enjoy.
I am speaking within bounds when I say that
nt times these pains were excruciating.
"With the pains In my back I Buffered
from terrible periodic headaches nnd pro
found mental depression. I was n prey to
anxiety and apprehension , the cause of which
I was unable to locate or understand. Yet
to look at mo you would hardly have fancied
my true condition. Sometimes when ap
pearing at my best and receiving the con
gratulations of my frlnnds on what they were
pleased to call my obvious Improvement , I
still felt wretched nnd miserable. But no
body sympathized with me. I suppose It was
because I was not emaciated or run down as
persons with dangerous diseases are com
monly supposed to be.
"While on this point I may perhaps be
permitted to say that affections of the kid
neys , oven Brlght'H disease Itself , often co
exist with a generally healthy external ap
pearance on the part of the patient. The
poor fellow may be within a few weeks ot
his death nnd yet to the unlnstructcd eye
look well enough to pass for a sound man.
"The secretion from my kidneys wna
high colored and offensive , with a con
siderable brick dust deposit. I cannot set
forth in writing what I suffered and shall
not try. The headaches aloue I thought
x sufficient punishment tor such unconscious
iffenses In the matter of fating and drink-
rg , as had brought this complaint upon
me. "
( The editor begs lo Interrupt Mr. Slntp-j
son to remind him , nnd others as well , th.it
In Indicting penalties Natuic never stops for
a moment to consider whether Iho offenses
were consciously committed or not. Juries
and Judges nro continually moved cither by
mpntliy for the prisoner or prejudice
against him. Nature Is cold as a tombstone ,
yet perfectly fair and Impartial. Whether
you take n dose of poison Ignorantly or un
intentionally , or with the purpose to commit
suicide , the result Is precisely the same.
Nature will not push 5011 over the cliff ,
neither will she put out her hand to save
you from being dashed to pieces. Think of |
this when you nro tempted to meddle with
her nrrangementn. )
"Tho dcotors , " continues Mr. Simpson ,
"gave mo no relief , although I consulted
many and followed their directions faith
fully. I do not blame them , for they did
their brst ; nnd 1 cannot pralso them , na
their best wns no advantage to me.
"H wag my custom to buy my toilet arti
cles nt the Wnlker-Ulntcls Drug Co. , 244
lloylstou street , and one day I told Mr. D.
Wallace Rlntel * about my condition and the
failure of the doctors to help me. Ho at
once suggested the use of Warner's Safe
Cure. As to the virtue of this medicine , al
though 1 had heard of it , I was very skepti
cal. 1 considered the advertised statements
of Its merits exaggerated , yet I bought a bottle
tle on the bare chance of Its doing me good.
After having taken a few doses my head
aches were certainly less frequent and less
intense. Greatly delighted at this hopeful
outcome , I kept on taking the medicine reg
ularly and Improved steadily ; and bcforo
long the symptoms I have named wholly dis
appeared.
"At the date of this writing I have been
well long enough to make &urc that my cure
Is radical nnd permanent. In spite of the
pain and peril of those twelve fearful years
I have today as good an appetite , as clear a
head nnd as sound a body as any man In
Hoston. Au an Illustration of It I need only
say that the very Inauranco company which
had previously rejected mo on account of an
'Incurable disease of the kidneys' has since
written a heavy policy on my life. I weigh
more than I used to do nnd my flesh Is
healthy and solid. I am rid ot the pufflness
which marks the chronic sufferer from kid
ney trouble. And for this transformation I
hereby acknowledge Indebtedness to War
ner's Safe Cure nnd that only. " George B.
Simpson , 23 Church street , Boston.
What Is popularly called kidney trouble
Is shown by modern Investigation to have
several forms. It Is always a dangerous and
deceptive condition , sometimes slowly and1
sometimes rapidly progressive , and liable to
terminate fatally even when the Immediate
symptoms seem to bo least alarming.
Thousands ot casualties attributed to other
causes nro really duo to diseased kidneys. !
The success for many years of Warner's Safe \
Cure In relieving nnd curing this subtle dls- ,
ease has won for it the world-wide reputa
tion It now enjoys. When kidney symptoms
declare themselves , do not besltato to use
Warner's Safe Cure. The risk is not ln I
resorting to this remedy , but In neglecting i I
It. !
