AN OPEN LETTER,
Some outspOken Statements of Great Value
from Parties of the Highest stand

but natural that the ones who have been
largely instrumental in the origin of
this movement should speak frankly and
directly to the people most interested.
1t is for this reason that we thus come
before the public and make the follow
ing revelations.
Every careful observer who has sought
to keep pace with the march of events
has noted the alarming Increase of GER
tain peculiar physical troubles within
the past few years. These troubles have
come at unexpected moments and in a
most treacherOus way. They have mani
tested themselves in innumerable forms,
but they have always had the same
cause. They have not afflicted the
minor parts of the body, but have gone
direct to the strOnghOlds of the system
and their work has usually been as
prompt as it is fatal. Their tTeacherOus
and deceptive nature has often prevent
ed careful analysis of what causes
them, and, as a result, intense suffering
and final disaster have usually ensued.
The real cause, however, has been de-
rangement of the kidneys and all of
these troubles are, in fact, the first SYM
toms of the terrible Bright's disease,
which has cast its dark shadow over so
many homes in the land and is increas-
ing wonderfully and continually. 1t Is
now conceded by the ablest physicians
in every land and by eminent scientists
the world over, that this disease IS the
result of blood poisoning. This poison
ing is brought about by wasted and un-
healthy kidneys that permit the poison
to remain in the blood, instead of throw
ing it from the system. But it is
equally evident to all who have studied
into the effects and have become cOnYer-
SAINT with the facts, that disOrdered
state of the kidneys and liver produces
most of the common complaints and
pains which afflict 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 tOltS source,
and to cure a disease we must remove
the cause. 1t being true, therefore, that
nine-tenths of all human ailments are
caused by diseased kidneys or liver, the
only certain way to cure these troubles
is by treating the organs which cause
them. How intimately the kidneys are
associated with the entire system may
be understood from the fact that over
1000 ounces of blood pass through them
every hour, being more than 200 gallons
or nearly one ton i'll the course of twenty
four ihOurs. This vast mass OF living
fluid is sent to every part of the body,
and if the kidneys are diseased the i'm
puIities that are in the blood are not re-
moved, and hence pass through the
its terrible forms. Tue horrors which
accompany most of the diseases caused
by disOrdeTed kidneys and liver cannot
he described in print, while the dangers
surrounding them are even greater than
the agony. And yet person may be
troubled for months without knowing
the cause of the diseases that have at
tackled ihm. Some of the symptoms of
the first stages, any one of which lndl-
Gates disOTdeTed kidneys or liver are
these: Pains in the back and around
the lOins, severe headaches, dizziness,
inflamed eyes, a coated tongue and a dry
mouth, loss of appetite, chilly sensa-
tiOns, indigestion Ohe stomach never is
in order when the kidneys or liver are
deTanged)a dTyness of the skin, nervous
ness, night sweats, muscular debility,
dependency, tired feeling especially
at night, putting or blOating under the
eyes, etc. If any of the following things
re noticed about the fluids passed from
he system, it shows that the kidneys
nd liver are out of order: A red de-
Osit, a scum upon the surface, an un-
usual thickness OF thinness, very dark
or very light color, burning sensa-
tiOn in the passing, an unusual OdOr,
retention, or frequent desire to void
and inability to do so.
The above are few of the hundreds
of symptoms which indicate the begin
ming Of aggravated cases of kidney or
liver difficulties, and they require in
slant attention. If these symptoms are
not checked at once, they are almost
certain to result in some one of the many
terrible diseases Of the kidneys. But
unpleasant as all the symptoms and
even these diseases may be, they are as
nothing compared to the last stages of
the complaints. The kidneys waste
away by degrees, accompanied by in
tense pains, the heart becomes uncon-
trOllable; the lungs are oppressed; the
eyeballs grow CLASSY, and the entire
system is reduced and debilitated. For
weeks before death comes the sufferer
looks forward to it as blessed relief,
and anything that can furnish even
temporary help is gladly hailed. Then
it is that blOating begins: the face be-
comes puffy and pallid; the breath can
only be caught in gasps, speech is i'm
possible and muscular action suspended.
The patient finally sinks into a state of
Inconsistencies to everything except
the pains which are racking him, and
death comes by certain but slow degrees.
There can be but one conclusion which
all readers of care and judgment will
draw from these facts, which is the ne
cessity of treating the disease in time
and by that means which has been proven
the best and most emclenL
It has been our privilege to treat more
cases and effect more cures of this terri
BILE complaint than has ever been known
before in the history of the world. The
wonderful sale which our remedies have
attained is due wholly to the fact that
they have cured the ones who have used
them. The power and value of any
remedy must rest wholly on basis Of
worth, and here Is just where our Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure has found its
wonderful power and success. But in
this connection comes one important
fact: 1t has always been true that arti-
cles of merit are subject to limitations.
No one seeks to counterfeit bills of a
worthless bank. The productions of a
cracked inventor OF witless writer are
never copied. 1t is just so with healing
remedy. II it possess no merit it will
not be subjected to limitations. If, how
ever, it has power and value, limitations
will spring up on every side. While it
is tribute to the value of this medicine
that it has limitations, still, in justice to
those who are suffering, we feel that all
should be warned against them.
There is but one known remedy that
has ever been able to cure serious kidney
