ARE YOU SAFE?
An Important Question for
any Man or Woman
WHO PRIZES HAPPINESS.
A correct Report of Conversation
Between Some Prominent
Men in q New York
Club.

"What is to become OF the Ameri-
can people,"
1t was not politician. but a clear
minded. level headed bank president
who made this remark yesterday, at
one of the leading clubs in New York.
The subject of discussion had been
the enormous number of sudden
deaths from heart disease. and 4
number of prominent gentlemen were
discussing it. Among the company
was a doctor, a railroad superintend-
emit and a minister of the gospel.
Il tell you it is enough to make
any man or woman shudder. Joseph
C. Wilson. the receiver of the Atchi-
son. Topeka & Santa Fe railroad,
died at the Holland house, New York,
before he had a chance to bid his
wife and daughters farewell. George
F. Root, the sweet singer and COM
poser passes away in a similar man.
ner. Indeed. we none of US can tell
what moment we may be called, and
it ought to make anyone stop and
| think"
The company all looked at the doc
tor, He said:
"Your remarks are well timed.
The strains, the pressure, the compe-
tition in business, professional and
social life, often tend to shorten life
and bring it to a quick close, but no
man ever died suddenly who did not
have warnings-danger signals, il
you please-in advance. Ii he did
not have pains around the heart.
which is quite probable, he had pains
in other parts of the body. especially
in the muscles, joints, and front or
base of the brain. In many cases he
or she has had a swelling of the
wrists, ankles, or about the waist,
indicating boating with dropsy ten
dency. Such people have uric acid
in the blood, and weakened action
OF the heart, and they know, if they
stop to think, that the breaking
down entirely of the heart is liable
at any time"
The banker who had first spoken
and appeared greatly interested,
said:
but. doctor, what can one do:
Refrain entirely from the pleasures
the duties and the activities of life?'
mot at ALL" replied the eminent
physician; regulate the Iife-us'
care and some good regulation, life
prolonging remedy, and there nee(
be but little doubt of good old age
know of one thing which for very
many years has shown itself able t
accomplish this, and there are thous
ands of people who prolong thei
lives and preserve their health by it
use"
81 think | know to what YOU re
fer" said the minister.
What is it?" asked the doctor.
elf | am not mistaken, it is War
ner's Safe Cure, of which l have see
much, and to whose influence / ow
a great deal"
"You are correct" replied tn
doctor, land there are many othe
advanced people who realize its grea
value as you do. It is, perhaps, tn
misfortune of this age that Peep.
will shorten their lives, but believ
that heart disease, apoplexy, hear
failure and all the many trouble
which SO suddenly remove men an
women might he avoided if the warn
ings which nature gives were heede
and the right remedy used in time.
There can be no question as to th
