body have created and transformed. 1t was once
supposed that if person felt pain in the back,
the liver was deranged; II pain came in the
lower chest the lungs were affected and consump-
ton was near. 1t is now known that a pain in the
back indicates diseased kidneys, while trouble in
the lower chest arises from disordered liver and
not imperfect lungs. severe pain in the head
was once thought to come from some partial
arrangement of the brain; it is now known that
troubles in other parts of the body and away from
the head cause headaches and that only by re-
moving the cause can the pain be cured. 1t is a
matter OF

that General Washington was bed to death. His
last illness was slight and caused principally by
WEAKNESS physician was called who bled
HIM copiously.' Strange to say, the patient be-
come no better Another doctor called, who
again took away large amount Of the vital fluid
Thus in succession four physicians drew away the
life of a great man who was intended by nature
for an old age, and who prematurely died-mur-

the age of medical bleeding!'
The speaker then graphically described another
period which came upon the people, in which
they assigned the origin of all diseases to the
stomach and after showing the falsity of this
theory. and that the kidneys and liver were the
causes of disease, and that many people are suffer
ing from kidney and liver troubles to-day who do
not know it, but who should know it and attend
to them at once, continued
:" Let us look at this matter little more closely
The human body is the most perfect and yet the
most delicate Of all created things. 1t is capable
of the greatest results and it is liable to the great
est disorders The sighte st causes sometimes
seem to throw its delicate machinery out Of order
while the most simple and common-sense care re-
stores and keeps them in perfect condition. When
it is remembered that the amount OF happiness or
misery we are to have in this world is dependent
upon perfect body, is it not strange that simple
precautions and care are not exercised? This is
one OF the most vital questions OF life. People
may avoid it for the present. but there is certain
to come time in every ones experience when it
must be faced.
" And here pardon me for relating little per-
sonal experience, In the year 1870 found my
self losing both in strength and health. | could
assign no cause for the decline, but 1t continued
until finally called to my aid two prominent
physicians. After treating me for some time they

more for me. At this time was SO weak could
not raise my head from my pillow and

My heart beat so rapidly it was with difficulty

the most intense pains in my back and bowels
caused me to long for death as relief 1t was at
this critical juncture that physical longing which

After great difficulty at last secured them and
began their use in the form OF tea noticed a
lessening Of the pain at once; began to mend
rapidly; in five weeks was able to be about and
in two months became perfectly well and have
so continued to this day 1t was only natural
that such result should have caused me to in
vestigate most thoroughly. ! carefully examined
fields in medicine never before explored | sought
the cause of physical order and disorder, hap
piness and pain, and found the kidneys and
liver to be the governors whose motions regulate
the entire system"
Having found this great truth, saw clearly
the cause OF my recovery. The simple vegetable
leaf had used was food and restorer TO my we'll
nigh exhausted kidneys and liver. 1t had come
to them when their life was nearly gone and by
its simple, yet powerful influence had purified,
strengthened and restored them and saved me
from death. Realizing the great benefit which a
knowledge OF this truth would give to the world |
began in modest way to treat those afflicted,
and in every case found the same
HAPPY RFsIrITs
which had experienced Not only this, but
many who were not conscious of any physical
trouble but who at my suggestion began the use
of the remedy which had saved my life, found
their health steadily improving and their strength
continually increasing. So universal, where used,
was this true, that determined the entire world
should share in its results, and therefore placed
the formula for its preparation in the hands of
Mr. IL. ii. Warner Of Rochester, n. Y, a gentle
man whom had cured OF a severe kidney disease,
aud who, by his personal worth, high standing
aud liberality in endowing the Astronomical OBJ
servatory and other public enterprises, has be-
come known and popular to the entire country
This gentleman at once began the manufacture of
the remedy on a most extensive scale, and to-day
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, the pure
remedy that saved my life, is known and used In
all parts of the continent.
:" am aware a prejudice exists toward proprie-
tary medicines, and that such prejudice is too Of
ten well founded, but the value OF pure remedy
is no less because 1t is a proprietary medicine. A
justifable prejudice exists toward quack doctors,
but is 1t right that this prejudice should extend
toward all the doctors who are earnestly and in
diligently trying to do their duty? Because
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure saved my
life before 1t became proprietary medicine is it
reasonable to suppose that it will not cure others
and keep still more from sickness now that 1t is
sold with a government stamp on the wrapper
Such theory would be childish"
The doctor then paid some high compliments to
American science and closed his lecture as follows
A" How to restore the health when broken and
how to keep the body perfect and free from dis
ease must ever be mans highest study That one
Of the greatest revelations of the present day has
