An Important Function Stimulated

The kidneys exercise most.important functions
which are so wearisome that they tax to the ut
most the strength and endurance of these busy
little organs. Every breath, every pulsation OF
the heart, every movement of limb, every
thought, makes waste and necessitates the de-
yelopment of new atoms. The used up particles
in the blood are sifted from it and dissolved in a
watery fluid by the kidneys, which then dis
charge this fluid into the bladder. A train of
disasters to the system would follow if these
"ashes,' so to speak, were not thoroughly
strained off and discharged This is the case
when the kidneys become inactive. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, by restoring their activity, not
only keeps open most important outlet for i'm
purfties. but prevents diseases of the kidneys
themselves, which when inert become liable to
fall prey to diabetes, Brights disease, nephistis
albumenura, and other maladies specially Incl
dent to them, which. although not specially rap
i'd in their progression are particularly obstinate
and fatal.
