OF the human body and everything which con-
Germs it. and the truths which the people have
found, even in the last fifty years, are simply
marvellous. How really ignorant some cultured
and supposedly scientific people were only a
few years ago, as compared with the present
day. may be better understood from few IL
Illustrative facts. A prominent writer prepared
could never cross the Atlantic, and his pamphlet
was issued just in time to be carried by the first
steamer that went to England. People once
believed that the heart was the seat of life and
health. 1t is now known that this organ is only
a pump, simply keeping in motion what other
created and transformed. 1t was once sup
posed that if person felt pain in the back,
the liver was deranged; if a pain came in the
lower chest the lungs were affected and con-
sumption was near; it is now known that pain
In the back indicates diseased kidneys. while
troubles III the lower chest arise from disor-
dered 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 head
aches and that only by removing the cause can
the pain be cured. 1t is matter of
PRIVATE HISTORY
that Gen. Washington was bled to death. His
last illness was slight, and caused principally
by WEAKNESS. A physician was called who bled
him &C piously.' Strange to say. the patient be-
came no better. Another doctor was called,
who again took away a large amount of the
vital fluid. Thus in succession four physicians
drew away the life of a great man who was in
tended by nature for an old age, and who
prematurely died-murdered by malpractice
bled to death. That was the age of medical
bleeding!'
The speaker then graphically described an
other 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
suffering 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 close
ly. 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 la
bic to the greatest disorders. The slightest caus-
es sometimes seem to throw its delicate machin-
cry out of order while the most simple and COM
nonsense care restores and keeps them in per-
feet con dition When it is remembered that
the amount of happiness and 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
personal experience. In the year 1870 found
myself losing both in strength and health. I
could assign no cause for the Decline but it
continued, until finally called to my aid two
prominent physicians. After treating me for
some time they declared / was suffering from
Brights disease of the Kidneys and that they
could do nothing more for me. At this time /
was SO weak could not raise my head from the
pillow and /
TAINTED REPEATEDLY.
My heart beat so rapidly it was with difficulty
could sleep. My lungs were also badly involved;
could retain nothing upon my stomach, while
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 / felt (and which I most firmly believe
was an inspiration) caused me to send for the
leaves Of a plant had once known in medical
practice After great difficulty I at last secured
them and began their use in the form of a tea.
I noticed lessenjng of the pain at once; be-
gan 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. It was

caused me to investigate most thoroughly. /
carefully examined fields in medicine never be-
fore explored. I sought the cause of physical
order and disorder, happiness and pain, and
found the kidneys and liver to- be the COVER
nors. whose motions regulate the entire sys-
tenn"
After describing at length the offices of the
kidneys and liver, and their important part in
life, the doctor went on to say:
''Having found this great truth, / saw clear
ly the cause of my recovery. The simple vege-
table leaf had used was food and restorer to
my well-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 knowledge of this truth would
give to the world began In a modest way, to
treat those afflicted and aaa ece,.y case found
the same
HAPPY RESULTS
which had experienced. Not only this but
many, who were not conscious of any physical
trouble but who, by 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 it's results, and
therefore placed the formula for it's prepara-
ton in the hands of Mr.. III. H. Warner, of
Rochester, N. Y. gentleman whom L had
cured of severe kidney disease, and who, by
reason of his personal worth, high standing and
iberaity 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 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.
I" l am aware prejudice exists toward pro-
prietary medicines, and that such prejudice is
too often well founded, bat the value of pure
remedy is no less because it is proprietary
medicine. justifable prejudice exists toward
quack doctors, but is it right that this preiu-
