THE DAY.
If anyone had informed Queen Elizabeth
in her palmiSt days that She could have
been seated in her palace in London and
conversed with Sir Walter Raleigh in his
North Carolina home receiving 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
strange OF unnatural. The truth is, new
principles are coming into existence, and
the operation OF many laws unknown in
the past is being fully undertood in the
present. In no way does this fact come
more forcible to the mind than in the care
and treatment of the human body Mil
lions OF people have died in the past ages
from some insignificant or easily control
ed cause which is thoroughly understood
now and readily handled. Consumption
during the entire past has been considered
an incurable disease, And yet it is demon
strated that it has been and can be cured
even afterlit has had a long run. DR.. Fee
lix Oswald has just contributed a notable
article on this subject to the Popular
Science Monthly. He regards consumption
| as pulmonary ScrOfula. The impurities Of
the blood produce a constant irritation in
the lungs, thus destroying their delicate
tissues and causing death. His theory
shows conclusively that consumption is Il
blood disease. 1t has it's origin primarily
in deranged condition of the kidneys OF
liver, the only two organs of the body,
aside from the lungs, that purify the
blood. When the kidneys or liver are di-
seaSed they are in a sore OF lacerated state
which communicate 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 decompOSi-
tion in the finely formed cells of thelungs.
Any diseased part of the body has contain
mating power, and yet the blood, which is
the life OF the system, is brought into di-
rect contactwith these poisoned organs, thus
carrying contagion to all parts of the body.
Bishop L. Peck, d. D., LII. D., whose
death has been SO recently regretted, is re-
ported to have died of pneumonia, which
medical authorities affirm indicates de-
seased condition of the kidneys. 1t is well
known, moreover, that for several years he
has been the victim of severe kidney trou-
| tie, and the pneumonia which finally ter
minated 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 accomplished
rapidly it is called pneumonia or quick
consumption when slowly, 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 physicians of the day.
They show the desirability may, the ne
cessity, of keeping these most important
organs in perfect condition, not only to in
sure health, but also to escape death. 1t
has been full shown, to the satisfaction of
nearly 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 i'll them and placing them in
a condition to purify and poison the blood.
| This is no idle statement nor false theory.
MI. w. G. Beach, foreman of the Buffalo
N. Y, Rubber Type-F Foundry was given
up to die by both physicians and friends.
For four years he had a terrible cough,
accompanied by night sweats, chills, and
all the well known symptoms. He spent
a season south and found no relief. He
says: Il finally concluded to try Warner S
Safe Cure, and in three months | gained
twenty pounds, recovered my lost energy
ond my health was fully restored The
list could be prolonged indefinitely but
enough has been said to prove to every sui
ferer from pulmonic troubles, that there is
no reason to be discouraged in the least
and that health can be restored.
