YEARS OF TORTURE.
Belief at Hand Had He Only Known Where
to Look For It.
Let us, my good frlonds, always suit our
tools to tho work to bo done. Wo do not
trim our nails with broadswords or corvo
statues with adzes. Now a word Is a tool,
Just as a boo is, or a razor. Tho figure ofj
Liberty on a quarter or a dollar is impressed
thero by a machlno made for tho purpose.
By tho samo token words woio Invciiteud tt
imprint thoughts and Ideas ou the minds of
others. And ovcry word or oxpression has
a currency moaning of its own so long us wo
refrain from using thorn in a slack or careless
way.
Just as tho Lord Mayor's coach, or one s
own best clothos are not intended for every
little trumpory occasion, so great words
should be reserved till tho time conies when
nothing else will do. When a man singes
bis whiskers by the slovenly handling of a
lighted match, wo do not rouso up tho firo
department.
Now tbo word ' excruciating" Is ono of the
strongest words In tho English language It
tingles with sharp significance as a black cat's
back snaps with electricity on a frosty night.
Only shallow people will tako liberties with
this word. In our ordinary talk it does not
come properly luto play once a year; and
rightly so. For ft alludes to a kind of mental
or physical suffering that we dosiro to avoid
thinking or speaking of. If tho root moan
ing of the word "excruciating" escapes you
for a moment look It up in tho dictionary. It
is a word with a pedigree, and its ancestors
havo supped with horrors since men began to
make history.
Tbo question then that you aud I havo to
sottle Is, whetbor Mr. Geo, B. Slinpsou em
ployed this dignified aud oxclusivo woitl
justifiably when bo said, "I was troubled
twolve years with much pain in tho snia.l ot
my back. So continuous was it that I cctsed
to take pleasure In work. Indeed I ceased to
tako pleasure altogether. With mo life got
to be a thing to cudure, not to enjoy, I am ,
speaking within bonds when I say that at
times these patus wero excruciating.
"With the pains in my back I suffered
from terrible porlodlc headaches and pro
found mental depression. I was a prey to
anxiety and apprehension, tho cause of which
I was unablo to locate or understand. Yet to
look at me you would hardly have fancied
my true condition. Sometimes when appear
ing at my best and receiving tho congratula
tions of my frlonds on what they wero
pleased to call my obvious Improvement, I
still felt wretched and miserable. But no
body sympathized with mo. I suppose It was
because I was not emaciated or run down as
persons with dangerous diseases aro com
monly supposed to bo.
While on this point, I may porhaps bo
permitted to say that affections of tho kid
neys, even Bright s disease itsolf, often co-
oxist with a generally healthy external ap
pearance on tbe part of the patient. The
poor fellow may be within a few weeks of his
death and yot to tbo unlnstructed eye look

writing what I suffered unci shall not try
Tbo headaches alono t thounht. a sufficient
punishment for such unconscious offences in
tho n.attcr of eating anil drinking, hs bad
brought this complaint upon me."
Tho editor begs to interrupt Mr. Simpson
to remind htm, and others us well, that in
inflicting penalties Nature novcr stops for a
moment to consider whether the offences
wore coiMdoiisly commuted or not. Juries
and Judges aro continually moved either by
sympathy for the prisoner or prejudlco
niminst him. Nature is cold as a tombstone,
yet perfectly fair and impartial. Whether
you take a dbso of poisou Ignornntly or un
intentionally, or with the purpose to commit
suicide, the rosult is precisely tho s'imo.
N'aturo will not push you over the cliff,
neither will sho put out her baud to save you
from boing dashed to plocos. Think of this
when you uro tempted to mrddlo with her
arrangements.
"The doctors," 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
thtiii best; aud I cannot praise them as their
but was no advantage to me.
"It was my custom to buy my toilet
articles at the Walker-Rlnlels Drug Co, 211
Boylston Street, aud ono day I told Mr. I).
Wallaco Rlntcls about my condition and tho
failure of tho doctors to help mo. Ho nt
once suggested tho use of Warner's Safe Cure.
As to the vlrtuo of this medicine, although I
had heard of it, I was very skeptical, I con
sidered tho advertised statements of its
merits exaggerated, yet I bought a bottla on
tho bare chance of Its doing mo good. Aftor
having taken a few doses my headaches woro
cortainly less frequent and less Intense.
Greatly delighted at this hopeful outcomo I
kept on taking tho tnodlciuo regularly and
improved steadily; and before long tho symp
toms I havo named wholly disappeared.
"At tho date of this writing I havo been
well long enough to mako sure that my cure
is radical aud permanent. In spite of tho
pain and peril of those twclvo fearful ycar3
I havo to-day as good an appetite, as clear a
head and as Bound a body as any man in Bos-
ton. As an illustration of It I iicou only say
that tho very insuranco company which bad
previously rejected me on account of an 'in
curable dlseaso of tho kidneys' has since
written a heavy policy on my life. I weisU
more tlmu I used to do and my llosh Is
healthy and solid. I am rid of tho puilhiGss
which marks tho chronic sufleror from kid
uoy trouble. And for this transformation I
hereby acknowledge Indebtedness to War
ner's Safe euro and that only." Gcorgo B.
Simpson, 23 Church Street, Boston.
What is popularly callod kidney trouble is
shown by modern Investigation to havo sov
eral forms. It Is always a dangerous and de
ceptive condition, somotlmos slowly and
sometimes rapidly progressive, and liable to
terminate fatally oven when the Immcdlato
symptoms sicm to be least alarming. Thou
sands of casualties attributed to other causes
aro really duo to diseased kiduoys. The
success for many years of Warner's Safe Cure
in lolieving and curiug this subtle disease has
won for it tho world-wide reputation it now
oujoyB. When kldnoy symptoms declare
themselves, do not hesitato to uso Warnor's
Safe Cure. Tho risk is not in resorting to
this romcdy, but In ueglectUg It.
