THE GRAIN OF SALT.

A lady finding a beggar-boy at her door gave him a meal of coffee, meat,and bread and butter, which he sat down in the area to eat A moment afterward, howdver, he rapped beseechingly at the door again, and on its being opened remarked with his hand upon his heart, “If I had but a little salt I should be perfectly happy.” Of course begot the salt. Human nature is always lacking something. Oftentimes it were better off without its wishes, yet it is universally conceded that no permanent enjoyment can be had without the savor of health, which keeps good cheer fresh and preserves and sweetens life for the future. ’ The great, ruddy farmer pines because he has not won fame or position. The famous man longs for the lusty health of the sturdy .farmer. . The grain of salt is wanting. How to secure and retain the savor of health in the midst of tnis rushing, S, over-worked generation is a worthy of our closest attention. Ot be done with stimulants, which but spur on the over-worked nerves to fresh efforts, only to leave them more jaded and shattered. Nor with narcotic^,, which temporarily soothe, but to create an unnatural appetite, the terror of which a De Quincy has so graphically portrayed. It may be asked, what is the cause of this extreme nervousness, lack of appetite, lung trouble, deficient heart action, failing eyesight, apoplectical tendency, etc. We reply, poisoned blood, caused by diseased kidneys, and the troubles indicated are after all, but symptoms of advanced Kidney Disease, which is but another name for Bright’s Disease. Unless remedied there will be a complete breaking down of the great blood-purifying organs, ■ the kidneys, and they will be excreted, piece-meal, through the urine. Now, in the spring of the year, owing to the extra work which has been put upon the Kidneyfiffcnd Liver, through a meat diet during the winter months, these symptoms are more pronounced, and, the danger, to the patient correspondingly increased. It is therefore imperative that the poisoned blood be eradicated,and that the Kidneys be put in complete health, which can be speedily and effectually accomplished by the use of Warner’s Safe Cure, a tried and proved specific in hundreds of thousands offcases. Pursuing the path we have marked out you will possess the salt of content, without which life’s banquet is “flat, stale and unprofitable.” John crazed by his love for Angeline— A lun(y)a bow.
