MEDICINES.

Disease is an effect, not cause. Its origin is
within; its manifestations without. Hence to
cure the disease the CAUSE must be removed,
and in no other way can a cure be Effected
WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE
is established on just this principle. 1t realizes
that
50 PER CENT.
of all diseases arise from deranged kidneys and
liver, and it strikes at once at the root of the
difficulty. The elements of which it is compos-
ed act directly upon these great organs, both as
n FOOD and restorer and, by placing them in n
healthy condition, drive disease and pain from
the system.
For the nnumerable troubles caused by I'M
healthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary organs, for
the distressing disorders of Women; for Mala-
ria, and for physical arrangements generally,
this great remedy has no equal. Beware of i'm
