These organs which we havo described
thus at length, Lccauso they are really the
most important ones in the human system,
the ones in which large ma jority o. human
ailments original, and arc sustained, are tho
kidneys. They have not been mu h discussed
in public, because it is conceded that the pro-
feSsioE has little known power over them.
What is wanted for such organs is a simple
medicine, which can do no harm to the most
delicate, but must DO of the greatest benefit
to the afflicted. Such remedy, tried
and proved by many thousands all
over the world, is Warmers safe
cure With those in whom disease is deep
seated it is tho only specific, For those in
whom the seeds arc sown and tho beginning
of illness started it is al unfaiing reliance.
1t may be recommended to the we'll to pre-
vent sickness, and the sick to prevent death.
With its aid the great iltering engines of the
system keep on in their silent work without
interruptions without it they got out of gear
and then disease and death open the door
