AsCIENrlFIC DISCOVERY.
A New and Most Important The
DRY on One of the ssost Vital
Questions of the Day.

If anyone had informed Queen Eliz 3.
abeth in her palmiest days that she
could have been seated in her palace
in London and conversed with Sir
4 Walter Raleigh in his North Carolina
home; receiving a reply from him
within an hours time, she would have
declared il 70 be miracle. And yet,
had they lived in the present dag, 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 being
fully understood in the present. In
no way does this fact come more fore
IDLY to the mind than in the care and
treatment of the human body. Mill
lions OF people have died in past ages
from some insignificant or easily con-
trolled cause which is thoroughly
understood now and readily handled.
Consumption during the entire past
has been considered az inenrable dis
ease. And yet it is demonstrated that
it has been and can be cured, even
after it has had a long run. DR.. Felix
Oswald has just contributed notable
article on this subject to the Popular
Science Monthly. He regards con.
sumption as pulmonary scrofula. The
impurities of the blood produce con-
slant irritation in the lungs, thus de-
stroying their delicate tissues and
causing death. His theory shows
couclusively that consumption is a
blood disease. lthasits origin primarily
in 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 decompO
sition in the finely formed cells OF
the lungs. Any diseased part of
the body has communicating pow.
er, and yet the blood, which
is the life of the system, is brought
into direct contact with these poisoned
organs, thus carrying cohtagion to all
parts of the body. Bishop Jesse T.
Peck, DID, LID. whose death has
been SO recently regretted, is reported
to have died of pneumonia, which
medical authorities affirm indicates a
diseased condition of the kidneys. 1t
is we'll known, moreover, that for sew
eral years he has been the victim of
severe kidney trouble, and the pneu~
monia which terminated his life was
only the last result of the previous
blood poisoning. The deadly matter
which is left in the lungs by the i'm
pure blood clogs up an finally chokes
the patient. When this is accom>
plished 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 fer BY all the leading physi>
clans of the day. They show the de
STABILITY, nay, tie necessity, of keep
ing these most important organs in
perfect condition, not only to insure
health, but also to escape death. 1t
has been fully shown, to the satisfao,
ton of nearly every unprecedented
mind, that Warmers 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 been formed in them
aud placing them in a condition to
purify and not poison the blood.
This is no idle statement nor false
theory. Mr.. W. G. Beach, foreman
of the Buffllo, N. Y Rubber Type
Foundry, was given up to die by both
physicions and friends. For four
years he had terrible cough, aceem>
panied by night sweats, chills, and all
the we'll known symptoms. He spent
season South and found no relief.
BE says: II finally concluded to try
Warmers Safe Cure and in three
months l gained twenty pounds, re
covered my lost energy and my health
was fully restored" The list could
be prolonged Indefinitely but enough
has been said to prove to every suf.
ferer from pulmonic troubles, that
there is no reason to be discouraged
in the least, and that health can be
restored.
