The blood is the life fluid Of all animate
creation. 1t supplies every organ and tis
sues of the human body with nourshmenj
of whatever material may be required foi
its support. In order that this may be
done perfectly, the all-wise Creator has ar
ranged different organs whereby to supply
the necessary waste of material which il
constantly going on within the human
body, and if not coun nteracted, would
bring it down to a premature grave. This
support is furnished by lamentations (or
food) which is prepared for lis work by the
process Of Digestion, Assimilation or Abb
sorption, Through these means it passes
| into and becomes blood. In order that the
blood should not become overloaded by
wornOut material, there is class Of organs
whose duty it is to separate and remove
from the blood, these wornout tissues rs
well as the superlluous matter ossilpiIatcd.
! These organs are called the Excretory or
guns of the body. The Kidneys are the
principle in this class They are two in
| number, situated on either side OF the spine,
extending from the Junction Of The fifth
rib, with the vertebra, to the pelvic bones
| They are from four to five inches ia length
and about two and half inches in width;
| rounded anteriorly, convex and uniform,
on outer margin, having a deep depression
or line near the middle toward the verte-
bra or spine, surrounded by unequal edges
where the artery transmitting the blood
into this great organ and where the renal
vein and nerves pass. 1t viii be noticed
by the reader at once that the work Of these
organs are indeed great as wei as indispen-
ible, being one which on account of the
vast amount of foreign material in the
blood, under some circumstances, pro-
duces so much work as to bring on con-
gestien and inflammation of the kidneys.
These are followed by class Of syml-
toms, which differ according to the sever
ity of the case.
Congestion of the kidneys is generally
caused by undue exposure TO cold, over
doses of injurious medicines, ETC., or the
disturbances belonging to inaamatory feb
rile diseases. This is often followed by Dia
belts, a disease the most fatal of all kidney
ailments, although this disease occasional
ly occurs without any obvious cause, and
is frequently found among the young
and mddle-aged adults; the mortality
from it being greatest from 15 to 45
years Brights Disease of the kidney
depends upon astructural change in the
kidney itself following Inflammation of
that organ and is no less fatal than Dia-
belts.
Urema, the retention in the blood of the
material which it is the function Of the
Kidneys to excrete from the suppression OF
their action is followed by headache, dim
ness OF vision, vomiting darrhpa, stupor
and even convulsions in worst cases, but
most frequently following this disease is
the very annoying symptom, the accumu-
lation OF water within the body known as
dropsy, which is caused by a failure of the
kidney to excrete that superAuous amount
from the blood. We have noticed briefly
some of the most prominent diseases OF
the kidneys, their causes and symptoms.
Now we propose to show the most rational
means OF relieving and removing them to
be by absorption, a process which is an old
one, having been understood and practiced
with sanguinary results by scientific men
in all ages of the past from the days OF
HypOcrates, the father of medicine, down
to the present time. This method having
been revived is at the present time extern
sively practced by the most eminent physi-
clans of Europe and America. The new
est feature of the process is the great dis
covery OF the union of the Ingredients
composing the Ere lsior Kidney Pad, which
by their being bsorbed into the circula-
tion, equalize the action of the kidney
and bring about a healthy condition. In
order that the reader may understand how
this may be done, it becomes necessary to
enter into the physiology Of the skin, some
what, 1t is admitted by all writers upon
the subject to be very susceptible to out
side influences, the reason for this being
that the skin is in every part filled with
small glands whose duty it is to convey
into the circulating blood II certain amount |
OF yapor, in which the body is constantly |
enveoped, and without which the blood |
would not be perfect. 1t has always been
the philosophy OF the medical world to aid |
nature in the performance of her functions
through Natures 0rn channels So in this |
case. When we find the kidney congested |
or inaamed from some ciuses already Civ |
en-, following which we have the different |
kinds OF diseases of that organ, viz: Dia- |
belts, Brighl's Disease, Incontnence and |
Retention of Urine, Gravel, Dropsy, etc,
we administer through these vessels the
virtues Of preparation we have prepared |
after long experience and careful investi- |
gation, and arranged in the form Of pad, |
differing from all others, which is 50 arrang-
ed that coming in contact with the great
number of absorbent vessels, is conveyed |
directly TO the kidneys, and through the
great power upon that organ it relieves
the congestion or inflammation IN all eases
and the annoying symptoms which have
Tor so long time been distressing TO the
patient, pass away imperceptibly and he
fore he is aware of ii he is in posses
sion Of good health, the greatest boon
that cam ever be bestowed upon mortal
man.
We do not claim our wonderful appll-
ance To be the work of chance, but the re.
suit of long experience, careful study, aud
thorough investigation of the subject
Kidneys, and their Kindred Diseases
We present ii to the afflicted with con
iidence, knowing that we are giving them
remedy that cannot be cqaaled.
