QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

© j Q. 1 have bec-n feeling very poorly 'lately, and have just been told that 1 am suffering from uric poisoning 1 shall be glad if you will tell rue just what uric poisoning means. Is n a serious matter? A. Uric poisoning 'is caused by the retention in the blood of substances which should leave the body in solution The retention of these substances i = due to a diseased or inactive of the kidneys. When the working perfectly, they filtty&i<fßr extract from the blood of individual about three pints oMdrine every day. In this quantity should be d.ssolved material pioduced fry and tear °f Hie tissues of This is dead matter, and its j.-fßK&ence in the blood is poisonous. The three pints of normal urine should cental n about ten grains in weight of uric acod, an ounce of urea, togetner with other animal and mineral matter varying from a third of an ounce to nearly an ounce. Q. Then I am to understand thatthe substances you mention when not eliminated from tha/pidy in the natural manner consUtutVwjfgft is known as uric poieonmg. Wlyt jpjf the usual symptoms by whhm m<M presence of these poisons is mamifejlejf? © A. Now/you# afe asking a rather large JMafiiy complaints which are comn/)nly#caj|ed diseases are notactually Aliseafes &a themselves. For instance/ Neuralgia, Lumbago, SJiatiati-, Stone, and Bladder Trouble# frequently- caused by' u«c Persistent# Headache, Jind GjdGc-ra! Debility? at#oftem Jolelyl’due tjr the same cause. Mw facjpr speafing jjeneraliy, it the fofneya were doingf tjtjpr work freehand thoroughly, none%fsfhe complaints mentioned would trouble us as the causative poisons would be absent. Q. I had no idea that so much de pended upon the efficient action of the kidneys. 1 suppose that when anyone is suffering from Rheumatism, Gout,-* Neuralgia, Lumbagd? Sciatica, Gravel, Stone, Bladder Troijples, Anaemia, Debility, Persistent Hjfadache, or Indigestion, the scientific method of effecting a cure, in most case|f would be to directly treat the patient for the kidneys? *A. Exactly. ?ln fact, that is the only way in which a radical and permanent cure would be effected. The kidneys must be restored to health and activity, so that they may be enabled to remove the daily production of poisons in the body, or the patient mustcontinue to sujfer.-* Q. 1 ha# always been under the impressiomjHiat the liver had a great deal to jisr ■with the maintenance of our nut it seems that the kidneys are thejjjphief cause of most- ol the disorders frcjp. which we suffer. A. The workjjidone by the liver it of the utmost importance, and it is closely associated withjvthe work done by the kidneys. Indejp, when anything is the matter with the liver the kidneys generally affected, and the contrary/!* likewise true.,/In the liver various substances are actually made from the blood. Two or three pounds of bile are thus made every day. The liver takes sugar from the blood, converts it into another form, and stores it up so as to be able again to supply it- to the blood, gradually, as the latter requires enrichment. The liver changes uric acid, which is insoluble, into urea which is completely soluble, and the liver also deals with the blood corpuscles which have lived their-life and arffnseful no longer. J _ a? Q. As/ the functions of,|pe kidneys and li virtue so intimate!®* related, I gatherjfhai if there is rjjjggQi&tef suspect tffit ather orgftn its workWliciwitly, a should be litsp woilßiSp't equally upon alio © A. |p|he Msggijand it was the seali&tidjp .ffi|i|thi#ii@rtant fact whief lei tof Up Cqisc#eT®)f that invalua'blejnnedidmo §g?l 7 ip ev,*ipSafe Cure. Aboit certain investigate now mg that if they could find a medicine which would bcnefically affect alike the kidneys and the liver, they could control most of the common disorders, devoted themselves to the search for such a remedy. After many disappointments, their efforts were rewarded,, and a medicine now known as Wanieps Safe Cure was proved to possess quirod properties. Warner’s Cure has a marvellously healing effect upon both and the liver, and by jplfw’nig those vital organs to healthgggmt activity, it necessarily curesjjplf^fiisorders due to the reblood of urinary and biluwj^poisons such as Rheumatism,.. Gout, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Sciatica, Blood Disorders, Anaemia, Indigestion. Biliousness, Jaundice, Gravel, Stone, Bladder Troubles, General Debility, and Sick Headache. Even complaints diagnosed as Bright’s Disease, probably the most fatal of all diseases, often yield to treatment by Warner’s Safe Cure. Cures effected by Warner’s Sale Cure are permanent, simply because they are natural. . . As you are so much interested in tins subject- you should write to the Australasian office of 11. H. Warner and Co., Limited, Melbourne, who will be pleased to send you. free of charge, a pamphlet treating it fully. <5 Warner’s Safe Cure is sold by chemists and storekeepers everywhere, both in the original form (os bottß-sj and in the cheaper “Concentrated,” r llonalcoholic form (2s 6d botthss).
