The ancient Greeks thought the seat
of love and passion was in the liver, and
in great measure their opinion was not
far astray. The lover whose liver is of, |
or the husband who is bilious, is not half
man-his sluggish liver has filed his
blood with bile.
OF all the mean contemplate counter
feits III the world, red blood full of bile
is the worst-the very worst!
We have about 10 quarts of this fluid
in the average size man. 1t is constant
ly undergoing change and is manufac.
tured from the food we daily consume
by chemical process nature has. She
selec.s only that portion aOhich, after
digestion, is found to be proper, and
takes it up by a tube called the thoracic
duct, emptying it into the large vein
near the left collar bone, from which it
is at once carried to the Eidneys to be
strained of all the deleteriOus matter
which was left by he bowels.
If the kidneys are in dealthy condition,
the blood is in an absolutely pure state,
con aims all the elements for repairing
waste, returns at once to the heart and is
thrown by that organ to every part of the
living body to give up its nourishment
and take up all the worn ont material.
Contrary to general belief the tUer Is
no. blood purifying organ; its pur
pose is only for nutrition digestion and
it secretes daily many pounds Of bile,
some being used In digestion and nutri-
ton, aud the balance as cathartic.
Now, after being housed up all winter,
with meat largely composing the diet fer
the purpose of producing heat, the liver
increases one third of its supply of bile,
and In the spring, nature not having use
for the excess, it is thrown into the blood,
carried to the skin (for it must be got
rid of in some wsy) and causes that
condition kaO1On as "bitiOus" when the
person is doll, lethargic, restless, we'll
to day and half sick tomorrow; because
! the blood as loaded with this substance,
which is Just as foreign to it as so much
| dirt or corruption, and pOisO7as the en-
tire body, making your blood impure.
You know there is something out of gear
and the natural impulse is to take
cathartics, -but drastic cathartics do not
remove the cause-they make matters
worse.
You ask, why2 Because. my friend,
the liver is a sluggish, lethargic organ
except 10y medicine which acts upon it in
a quiet, steady manner, producing per
nla'ae,t effects, and assisting not gOad
| ing its normal action. The kidneys do
the purifying. Always remember that
No other organ in the body can take
their place in this respect, and they at
tend to over 5000 hogsheads Of blood in
year! Think of it and wonder that
they are able to do SO large an amount Of
work!
A healthy kidney to purify, and a
healthy liver, emptying it's poison into
the 6O1OetS and not into the blood, are
| the true and only givers of pure blood.
| The interior of the kidneys have fe,U
| nerves Of sensation, and stone can be,
and often Is present without any iudica.
| ton until it reaches the first outlet, which
is supplied with nerves that soon sound
| the alarm.
| Do you see the moral of this? A
healthy liver and kidney is all there is to
this question of pure blood Keep them
In order. Don't wait until you find they
are diseased, for then it may be too late.
Do this and you are bound to hare pure
| blood. Warmers safe cure has a direct
action upon both the kidneys and the
liver, and has become recognized agent
for its health preserving and blood puri.
| flying properties, and as such is used by
many physicians. A few bottles will
positively prevent disease, and we are
certain that disease of either organ is
prevented by it's use, if taken in time.
The Spring approaches, and nature
needs help. Take it and save sickness
and doctors bills. Don't let any season
go by without its use, or you may regret
it forever.
