AN OPEN LETTER.

some OufspoHen Statements OF Great
Standing.
When the people OF America become so
thoroughly aroused, and on a subject Of
such serious importance as the preservation
Of their lives and health, it is but natural
that the ones who have been largely instru-
mental 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 following revelations.
Every careful observer who has sought
to keep pace with the march of events has
noted the alarming increase Of certain pc
culiar physical troubles within the past few
wears These troubles have come at uneX-
pected moments and IN most treacherOus
way. They have manifested 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 strongho!ds Of the
system. and their work has usually been as
prompt as it is fatal. Their treacherOus
and deceptive nature has often prevented
a careful ANALYSIS OF what causes them,
and, as q result intense suffering and final
disaster have usually ensued. The real
cause, however, has been arrangement of
the kidneys and all of these troubles are,
in fact, the first symptoms OF the terrible
Brights disease, which has cast It's dark
SHADOW over so many homes III INC lana
and is increasing wonderfully and cOntin-
ually. 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
poisoning is brought about BY wasted and
unhealthy kidneys that permit the poison
to remain in the blood, instead OF throwing
it from the system. But it is equally evi-
dent to all who have studied into the effects
and have become conyersantw with the facts
that disordered state of the kidneys and
liver produces most of the common
complaints and pains which afHict the
human race, and they can be traced to
this source Just as certainly as can Brlghts
disease. To purify stream We must go TO
its source, and to cure disease we must
relRore ne cause. 1t being true, therefore,
that nj rtenths 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 or
lood 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 il the kidneys are diseased
the impurities 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 accom-
pany most of the diseases caused by disor-
dered kidneys and liver cannot be described
in print, while the dangers surrounding
them are even greater than the agony.
And yet a person may be troubled for
months without knowing the cause of the
diseases that have attacked him 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, dizziness in
famed eyes, a coated tongue and a dry
mouth, loss of appetite, chilly sensations,
indigestion 1.-THE stomach never is in order
when the kidneys or liver are deranged, a
dryness of the skin, nervousness, night
sweats, muscular debility, dependency.
tired feeling especially at night, putting or
bloating 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
ed deposit a scum upon the surface, an I'M
usual thickness or thinness, very dark or
a very light color, a burning sensation in
passing. an unusual odor, a retention, or
frequent desire to void and inability to
do so.
The above are few of the hundreds of
symptoms which indicate the beginning of
.ggravated cases of kidney or liver diff
culties, and they require instant 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
kldnevS. But unpleasant as all the Symp-
toms 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 intense
pains; the heart becomes uncontrollable;
the lungs are oppressed the eye-balls grow
CLASSY, and the entire system is reduced
and debilitated. For weeks before death
comes the sufferer looks forward to it as a
blessed relief, and anything that can
furnish even temporary help is gladly
hailed. Then it is that boating begins;
the face becomes puffy and pallid; the
breath can only be caught in gasps speech
is impossible and muscular action sus-
pended. 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
necessity of treating the disease IN time and
by that means which has been proven the
best and most efficient.
It has been our privilege TO treat more
cases and effect more cures of this terrible
complaint than has ever been known before
in the history of the world. The wonder
full sale which our remedies have attained
is due wholly to the fact that they have
cured the ones who have used them. The
power ard value of any remedy must rest
wholly on a 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 articles of merit are subject to imita-
tions. No one seeks to counterfeit the bills
of worthless bank. The productions OF a
cracked inventor or witless writer are
never copied. 1t is just so with healing
remedy. If 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 il is
