THE VALULE OF LONGEVITY.

Dr. Felix L. Oswald, in writing of the value of longevity, says: ■ “Can there be a doubt that Burns and Keats foresaw the issue of theii struggle against bigotry, or that Cervantes, in the gloom of his misery could read the signs of the dawn presaging a sunburst of posthumous fame? “Spinoza and Schiller died at the threshold of their goal; Pascal, Harvey, Macanley, Buckle and Bichat left their inimitable works half finished; Rapbiel, Mozart and Byron died at the verge of a summit which perhaps no other foot shall ever approach. / “Who knows how often, flirice th«t dawn of modern science, the chill of death has palsied a hand that had all but lifted the veil of Isis’ temple? Or in how many thousand lives time alone would have solved all discords into harmonies? An increase of longevity would indeed, solve the vexing riddles of existence; it would furnish the pecaiiar endorsement of Mr. Mallock’B conclusion. It would give the vicissitudes of fortunes chance to assert their equalizing tendencies, it would supply a missing link in the arguments of that natural religion that trusts the equipoise of justice in the apparent caprices of human fate. ■

“The price cf longevity would redeem the mortgage of our earthly paradise”— ana it can be prolonged and should be, with care and the use of proper medicine at the right time. Owing to the. stress, the worry, and the annoyance of every day life, there is no doubt but that tens of thousands of men and women yearly fi ll pTemntnrfi graves.

Especially after middle life should a careful watch be kept ovet one’s physical condition. The symptoms of kidney disease, such as becoming easily tired, headache, neuralgia, feeble heart action, fickle appetite, a splendid feeling one day and an all-gone one the next, persistent cough, trouble in urinating, etc., should be diligently looked into and at once stopped through a faithful use of Warner’s Safe-Gurer which has cured tens of thousands of such 1 roubles and will cure yours.

Experiencing no pain in the region of the kidneys is no evidence that they are not diseased, as those great purifying organs have very few nerves of sensation, and oftentimes the kidneys are positively rotting and being passed away through the urine before the victim is aware Lo is suffering from advanced kidney disease, which is only another name for Bright's Disease. To preserve life and to be well while you live are two cardinal virtues, and it is time .veil spent to give this vital subject earnest and careful attention, and to use the knowledge acquired in a judicious and intelligent manner.
