ease. 1t has its origin primarily in q deranged
condition of the kidneys or liver, the only two
organs of the body, aside from the lungs, that
purify the blood. When the kidneys or liver
are diseased they are in sore or lacerated
state, which communicates poison to every
ounce of blood that passes through them.
This poisonous blood circulates through the
system and comes to the lungs, where the
poison is deposited, causing decomposition
in the finely formed cells of the lungs. Any
diseased part of the body has communicating
power, and yet the blood, which is the life of
The system, is brought into direct contact
with these poisoned organs, thus carrying
contngon to all parts of tho body. Bishop
Jesse L. Peck, d. D., LID, whose death has
been so recently regretted, is reported to have
died CT pneumonia, which medical authori-
ties affirm indicates diseased condition Of
the kidneys. 1t is well known, moreover,
that for several years he had been the victim

which finally terminated his life was only the
last result of the previous blood poisoning.
The deadly matter which is left in the lungs
by the impure blood clogs up and finally
chokes the patient. When this is accom-
plshed rapidly it's called pneumonia or quick
consumption; when slowly, consumption, but
in any event it is the result of impue blood
caused by diseased kidneys and liver.
These are facts of science and vouchcd for
