*»EB PRESS ASSOCIATION.

Chmstchukch, September 11, Between about 10 p.m. yesterday and 7 thia morning the railway station ab Heathcote, Woolston, and Opawa on the Chrhtchurch-Lyttelton line were broken into. An entry was affected at Heathcote by forcing the window with a jemmy. The cafe was only a light fire proof one, and the burglars succeeded in ripping off the top plate with a jemmy and croAvbar. The sum of £17 14i 101 ia cash was taken, and a quantity of stamps to the value of £8. The money belonged to the stationmaster. The door at Woolston station was forced, and the ticket drawer opened, bub only a box of " Rough on rats," belonging to the stationmaster, was missed. The safe waa not touched. At Opawa the door of the station was apparently opened with a key, the ticket drawers and cupboard opened, but no thing taken. A fruitless attempt walmade with a chisel to open the safe, and _™ c point of the chisel was broken off. The safes at Woolston and Cpawa were small but strong. The burglars left no clue.

A SAFE OPENING. No matter how strongly Liver and Kidney Trouble and Bright'a Disease may entrench themselves in the system, Warner's Safe Cure opens the door to health. Warner's Safe Cure cures Kidney Disease because, it has a specific tonic and alterative effect directly upon the tissues, fibres, and cells itihich go to make up the kidney substance, it acting as a constitutional kidney tonic. It removes congestion and inflammation, changes abnormal action into that of health. No matter whether the disease ia acute or chronic, whether ifc ia a well-advanced Bright's Disease or the common kidney malady, Warner's Safe Cure does as repre sented. Do not neglect the first warning symptom of Kidney Diseisc. Procure at once Warner's Safe Cure and Warner's Safe Pills, uag according to the directions found upon the labels, and you will not fail to overcome the disease and secure immunity, not only from Kidney Disease, but from moiiy maladies which are recognised a? secondary to it. Jt is wise to prevent disease, and this Warner's Safe Cure does.
