AN OPEN LETTER.
Some OHtspoken Statements of Great
Value from Parties of the
Highest Standing.

| in tie origin of its movement should spcal
frankly and directly to the people most inter
ested. 1t is for this reason that we thu
come before the ublic and make the followin!
revelations:
Every careful observer who has sought t.
keep pace with the march of events has notet
the alarming increase of cert lin peculiar
physical troubles within the past few years.
These troubles have come at unexpected
way. They have manifested themselve.
in innumerable forms. But they have
always had the same cause They have moi
afflicted the minor parts OF the body, but have
gone direct to the strOngholds of the system
and their work has usually been prompt as
1t is fatal. Their treacherous and deceptive
nature has often prevented a careful analysis
OF what causes them, and, as result, intense
| suffering and final disaster have usually en-.
sued. The real cause however. has been q
| arrangement of the kidneys, and all of these
troubles are, in fact, the first symptoms OF
the terrible Brights disease, which has cast
| Its dark shadow over SO many homes in the
land, and is increasing wonderfully and con-
| tinually. 1t is now conceded by the ab!est
| physicians in every land and by eminent SCI
entists the world over, that this disease is
the result of blood poisoning. This poison
| ing is brought about by wasted and I'M
healthy kidneys that permit the poison to
remain in the blood, instead Of throwing it
| from the system. But it is equally evident
to all who have stud ed into the effects
and have become conYersant with the facts,
that a disordered state of the kidneys and
liver produces most of the common COM
! plants and pains which atflict the human race,
and they can be traced to this source just as
certainly as can Bright's disease To purify a
stream we must go to its source, and to cure
! disease We must remove the cause. 1T being
true, therefore, that nine tenths of all human
80. = l..
liver, the only certain way to cure these trOu-
bles is by treating the organs which cause
them. How intimately the kidneys arc asSo-
GATED with the entire system may be under
stood from the fact that over 1909 ounces of
blood pass through them every hour, being
more than 200 gallons, or nearly one ton in
the course OF twenty-four hours. This vast
mass Of living fluid is sent to every part of the
body, and if the kidneys are diseased the i'm
purties that are in the blood are not removed,
and hence pass through the veins, carrying
disease in some one of its many terrible forms.
The horrors which accompany most of the
diseases caused by disorGered kidneys and
liver cannot be described in print, while
the dangers surrounding them are even
greater than the agony. And vet a person
may be troubled for months without knowing
the cause of the diseases that have attacked
hlm. Some OF the symptoms of the first
stages, any one of which indicates disordered
kidneys or liver, are these: Pains in the back
and around the loins, severe headaches, dir
Ziness, lnfiamed eyes, coated tongue and a
dry mouth, loss of appetite, chilly sensations,
Indigestion, (the stomach never is in order
when the kidneys or liver are derangeu). u
dryness of the skin, nervousness night sw eats,
debility, despondencv, a tired feel
ing especially at night, putting or boating
under the eyes, etc. If any of the following
things are noticed about the fluids passed
from the system, it shows that the kidneys
and liver are out Of order: A red deposit,
scum upon the surface, an unusual thickness
Dr. thinGess, Very dark or very light color,
a burning &.nsation in passing, an unusual
odoi~ ;ete Nsn or frequent desire to void
The above are few of the hundreds of
symptoms which indicate the beginning of
Aggravated case, of kidney or liver difficult
ties, and they require instant attention. IF |
these symptoms are not checked at once, they /
are almost certain to result in some one of |
But unpleasant as all the symptoms and even !
these diseases may be, they are as nothing |
compared to the last stages of the COM
plants. The kidneys waste away BY degrees,
accompanied by intense pains; the heart be-
comes uncontrollable; the lungs are op-
entire system is reduced and debiitated For
weeks before death comes the sufferer looks
Onward to it as blessed relief, and ANYTHING
nat can furnish even temporary help is glad
y hailed Then it is that bloating begins;
me lace becomes puffy and pallld; the breath
'lble and muscular action SUSPENDED. THE
patient finally sinks into state of uncon-
clousness to everything except the pains
which are racking him, and death comes by
ertain but slow degrees. There can be but
me conclusion which all readers of care and
; the necessity OF treating the disease in
me, and by that means which has been
roVen the best and most efficient
IL mas peen our privilege to treat more
ases ana effect more cures of this terrible
omplant than has ever been known before
~, .he history OF the world. The wonderful
ale which our remedies have attained is due
holly to the fact that they have cured the
mes who have used them The power and :
alue OF any remedy must rest wholly on
ass OF worth, and here is just where our
ale Kidney and Liver Cure has found its
onderiul power and success But in this
comes one important fact: It has
ways been true that articles of merit are
lbJect to limitations No one seeks to coun-
rfe1t the bills Of worthless bank. The
'oductions of cracked inventor or witless
ritter are never copied. 1t is just SO with
,aitng remedy. IT it possess no merit it will
IT be subject to limitations. If. however. if
IS power and value, limitations will spring
} on every side. While it is tribute to the
lue OF this medicine that it has limitations.
", In Justice to those who are suffering. we
e., that all should be warned against them
There is but one known remedy that has
er been able to cure serious kidney troubles
control these great organs when once de- e
nged, and that remedy is Warmers Safe =
dney and Liver Cure. There are numerous
str,Ims on the market claiming to be lust
