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

their lives and health. it is but natural that
the ones who have been largely instrumental
in the origin of its movement should speak
frankly and directly to the people most inter-
ested. II 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 REGULAR
physical troubles within the past few years.
| These troubles have come mt unexpected
moments and in most treacherous
way. They have manifested themselves
in innunerzblc 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 rompt as
IL is fatal. The tTeacherous and deceptive
nature has oftcn prevented a careful analysis
Of what causes them, and, as a result, intense
suffering and final disaster have usually en-
sued. The real cause, however. has been a
arrangement Of the kidneys, and all of these
troubles are, in fact, the first symptoms of
the terrible Bright's disease, which has east
It's dark shadow over so many homes in the
land, and is Increasing wonderfully and con-
tnnaiy. IL is now conceded by the abest
physicians in every land and 10y eminent SCI
entists the world over that this disease is
the result of blood poisoning. This poison
lli- u brought hOOut hy wasted aud I'M
healthy kidneys that permit the poison to
remain in the blood, instead of throwing it
from the system but 1t is equally evident
10 all who have stud ell into the effects
and have become conyersant with the facts,
that disordcred state of the kidneys and
liver produces most of the common com
plants and pains which aiilict the human race,
and they can be traced to this source just as
certainly as can Bright's disease. To purifya
stream we must 20 10 its source, and to cure
disease We must rsinore the cause il being
true. therefore, that ninetenths of all human
ailments are caused bv diseased kidneys or
liver the only certain way to cure these trou-
bles is by treating the organs which cause
them. How intimately the kidneys are asso-
ciated 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 filid is sent to every part of the
body, and If the kidneys are diseased the i'm
purities 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 disoroered 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
ulin SOue uI tDe symptoms OF the nr>t
stages, any one of which indicates disordercd
kidneys or liver, are these: Pains in the back
aud around the loins, severe headaches, dir
illness, iniiamed ewes, coated tongue and {
dry mouth, loss of appetite, chilly sensations
indigestion, (the stomach never is III order
when the kidneys or liver are deranged). a
dryness Of the skin, nervousness, night sweats,
muscular debility, dependency, tired feel
ing especially at night, putting or bloating
under the eyes, etc. II any of the following
things are noticed about the fluids passed
from the system, il shows that the kidneys
and liver are out OF order: A red deposit, a
scum upon the surface, an unusual thickness
or thinness, a very dark or a very light color,
a burning sensation in passing. an unusual
odor, retention, or a frequent desire TO void
and inability to do SO.
The above are few OF the hundreds Of
symptoms which indicate the beginning OF
aggravated cases Of kidney or liver difficult
ties, and they require instant attention. TX
these symptoms are not checked at once, they
are almost certain 10 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 COM
plants. The kidneys waste away by degrees,
accompanied by intense pains. the heart be-
comes uncontrollsbie; the lungs are OPP
pressed, the eye-bslls grow CLASSY, and the
entire system is reduced and deblitatei For
weeks before death comes the sufferer looks
forward 10 ii as a blessed relief, and anything
that can furnish even temporary help is glad
ly hailed. Then it is that bloating begins;
the face becomes puffy and pAllii; the breath
can only be caught in gasps, speech is impos-
eibe and muscular action suspended. The
patient finally sinks into a state of uDcon-
seriousness 10 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 ia
TIM, and by that means which has been
proven the best and most efficient.
IL 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 wonderful
sale which our remedies have attained is due
