Tmsly Advice shout HO- 70 AVOID IL
Certain Valuable Facts Made
Public.

IL is well known that hot weather
rings sickness, and that few people
60 through the summer without IN
pleasant symptoms. The mouth be-
comes dry and parched the tongue fur
red with white, the pulse irregular, the
head feverish, the body cramped, and
the limbs swollen and tired. Ladies'
especially, with their natural delicacy
and tendency to female troubles, find the
hot weather almost unbearable. while
little children are dying every day from
exhaustion and because parents neglect
precaution and care. Appointment and
well known physician CT New York as
serts as his positive belief that more
than three-fourths Of all ~so-called sum-
mel complaints arise from disordered
secretions, and that these secretionary
organs, which, by being out Of order
cause SO much trouble. are the Kidneys
and Liver. These organs are the gov
ernors Of the system, and by their move
nlents the other parts OF the body are
regulated. The brain controls the life,
bnt the lower part of the body rnles the
health.
There is one, and only one known
vegetable that will absolutely regulate
and control the Kidneys and Liver at
all times and thus prevent the many
dangers Of the summer. That vege-
table IA West India leaf, is used as the
basis OF Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure. II is pure, pleasant to the
taste and absolutely certain in its re-
suits. II keeps those who intelligently
use 1t in perfect health. and cures those
whose secretions are deranged. For all
urinary complaints OF either sex it is
infallible. For all bilious troubles 1t is
certain. For the hot season 1t Is inval-
liable, and 1t should be used upon the
approach OF the slightest symptoms. II
may save your life or that Of some dear
friend; 1t will certainly prevent much
suffering.
No remedy in America has ever re-
ceived such high and enthusiastic COM
mendations.
