A SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.
A New and Most Important Theory
on One of the Most Vital Cues
tiOns of the Day.

If anyone had informed Queen
Elizabeth in her palmiest DAYS that
she could have been seated in her
palace in London and converse with
Sir Walter Raleigh in his North Car
DINA home, receiving a reply from
him within an hours time, she would
have declared it to be miracle. And
yet, had they lived in the present day,
this apparent miracle would most
readily have been witnessed and not
seem at all strange or unnatural. The
truth is, new principles are coming
into existence. and the operation of
many laws unknown in the past is
becoming fully understood in the
present. In no way does this fact
come more forcibly to the mind than
in the care and treatment of the hui
man body. Millions of people
have died in past ages from
some insignificant or easily
controlled cause which is
thoroughly understood now and read
lily handled. Consumption during
the entire past has been considered an
incurable disease. And yet it is dem
onstrated that it has been and can be
cured, even after it has had long
run. DR.. Felix Oswald has just con-
tributed notable article on this sub
ject to the Popular Science Monthly.
He regards consumption as pulmona-
ry scrofula. The impurities of the
blood produce constant irritation in
the lungs, thus destroying their deli
cate tissues and causing death. His
theory shows conclusively that con-
sumption is a blood disease. 1t has
its origin primarily in a 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 dis
eased they are in a sore or LAGER
ated state which commune
Gates 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 dis
eaSed part of the body has contamina-
ting power, and yet the blood, which
is the life OF the system, is brought
into direct contact with these poison
ed organs, thus carrying contagion to
all parts of the body. Bishop Jesse
I. Peck. d. D., LID, whose death
has been so recently regretted, is re-
ported to have died of pneumonia,
which medical authorities affirm indi-
Gates diseased condition of the kid
neys. 1t is well known, moreover,
that for several years he has been the
victim of severe kidney trouble, and
the pneumonia which finally termina-
ted 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 pa
tient. When this is ac-
complished rapidly it is called pneu-
monia or quick consumption, but in
any event it is the result of impure
blood, caused by diseased kidneys and
liver.
These are facts of science, and
vouched for by all the leading physi-
clans of the day. They show the de-
sirability-nay, the necessity, Of keep
ing these important organs in perfect
condition, not only to insure health,
but also to escape death. 1t has been
fully shown, to the satisfaction ofnear-
ly every unprecedented mind that War
ner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure is
the only known remedy that can cure
and keep in health the great blood
purifying organs of the body. 1t acts
directly upon these members, healing
all ulcers which may have formed in
them and placing them in condition
to purify and not poison the blood.
This is no idle state
ment nor false theory. Mr.. w.
G. Beach, foreman of the Buffalo, n.
Y, Rubber Type Foundry, was given
up to die by both physicians and
friends. For four years he had a ter
rible cough. accompanied by night
sweats, chills and ali the well known
symptoms He spent d season south
and found no relief. He says: Il
finally concluded to try Warmers Safe
Cure, and in three months l gained
twenty pounds, recovered my lost en-
ergy and my health was fully re-
stored" The list could be prolonged
indefinitely, but enough has been
said to prove to every sufferer from
puImonic troubles that there is no
reason to be discouraged in the least,
and that health can be restored. dtw
