Hold your hand against the ribs on
your left side, front,-the regular,
steady beating of the great "force
pump" of the system, run by an uu-
known and mysterious Engineer, is aw-
/ full in its impressiveness!
Few persons like 10 count their own
pulse beats, and fewer.persons'still enjoy
marking the "thumb-thumb" OF their
own heart.
"What If 1t should skip a beat'
As matter Of fact the heart is the
least susceptible to primary disease cf
a.. of our vital organs. 1t is however
very much injured by certain long con
tinued congesti-n3 of the vital organs,
like the kidneys liver and stomach.
Moreover blood filed with uric acid
produces a rheumatic tendency, and is
very injurious TO heaithful heart action,
lit. often proves fatal and, and OF
| course, the uric acid comes from i'm
paired kidney action.
Roberts, the great English authority,
says that heart disease is chiefly Sec
ondary to some more fatal malady in
the hlocd or other vital organs. That
is, it is not the original source of the
fatal malady.
The work of the heart is to force
blood into every part of the system. II
the organs are sound IL is an easy task.
If they are at all diseased, it is a
very, very hard task. Take as an illus
tration; The kidneys are very subject
to congestion and yet, being deficient
in the nerves of sensation, this longest
ed condition is not indicated by pain
1t may exist fer years, unknown even
to ply sicians, and if it does not result
in complete destruction of the kidneys,
the extra work which is forced upoh the
heart weakens it every year, and-a
| mysterious" sudden death claims an
other victim!
Tsis is the true history of "heart dis
ease"-so called, which in reality is
chiefly a secondary effect of Bright's
disease of the kidneys, and indicates
the universal need of that renowned
specific WarAer's Safe Cure.
B. f. L,rrabee, Esq, of Boston, who
WAS by it so wonderfully cured of
Bright's disease, in 1879, says that with
its disappearance went the distressing
heart disorder, which he then discover
ed was only secondary TO the renal trou-
BILE.
There is a general impression that the
medical profession is not at fault if it
frankly admits that heart disease is the
cause of death. In other words, cure
of heart disease is interpreted of theml
There may be no help for a broken
down, worn out, .appoplectic heart, but
there is a help for the kidney disorder
which in most cases is responsible for
the heart trouble, and If its use put
money and fame into the treasury of

Of an independent Investigator, every
graduated doctor in the world would
exclaim of it, as one, nobler and less
prejudiced than his fellows, once ex-

What therefore must be the public
estimate of that bigotry and want of
frankness which forbids in such cases

call such things by their right names?
Why not?
