kidney Difficulties.

Speer's Port Grspe Wine is one Of the best
diuretics known, it gently acts on the kidneys
infusing in them new vigor and urges them to
throw from the system all the worn out parti-
cles which if suffered to remain would poison
the blood and create disease Every disease
10 a certain extent demands a diuretic, every
part of the system must be in working order
70 maintain health, and the kidneys especially
are the main avenue for the escape Of the poi
sons Of the system. Physicians have, after
strict trial aud due examination, found Speer +
Port Grape Wine to answer the purpose sd-
mirably, aud recommend it in cases where a
diuretic is needed. This wine is raised in New
Jersey, aud sold by Druggists generally. 1t
is becoming the principal wine for Communion
purposes, aud in great demand for evening en-
tertaiument by the most fashionable families
