in every direction which can help them moral

true of the human body and everything which
concerns it, and the truths which the peonlo
have found, even in the last fifty years aro
simply marvellous. How really ignoranNScuOo

were only few years ago, as compared with
the present day, may be better understood
from few illustrative facts. A prominent

person felt pain in the back, the liver was
deranged; if pain came in the lower chest
the lungs were affected and consumption was
near; ii is now known that a pain in the back
indicates diseased kidneys, while troubles in
the lower chest arise from a disordered liver
and not imperfect lungs. A 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 removing the cause can the pain
be cured. 1t is a matter of

who 'bled him copiously.' Strange to say, the
patient became no better. Another doctor
was called, who again took away large
amount of the vital fluid. Thus in succession
four physicians drew away the life of great
man who was intended by nature for an old
age, and who prematurey died-murdered by
malpractice-bled to death. That was 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 dis
eases to the stomach, and after showing the
falSlty OF this theory, and that the kidneys and
liver were the causes of disease, and that many
people are suffering from kidney and liver
troubles to-day who do not know 1t, 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.

causes sometimes seem to throw its NsMcaNe
machinery out of order while the most simple
and common sense care restores and keeps
them in perfect condition. When it is remem-
bered 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. Peo-
pie may avoid it for the present, but there is
certain to come u time in every ones expert
ence when it must be faced.

After describing at length the Offices Of the
kidneys and liver, and their important part in
life, the doctor went on to say:
"Haying found this great truth, saw clear
ly the cause of my recovery. The simple
vegetable leaf had used was a food and
restorer to my wellnigh 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
