 P-oprietors of "Warners Sdfe Cure"
 That we may emphasize and clearly ex plain the relation the kidneys sustain to the general health, and how muck is dependent upon them, we propoSs, mstapHot1calty speaking, to take, one from the human body, place it iii the wash-bowl before us, and ex- anime it for the public benefit c
 You will imagine that we have before us body shaped like a tean, smooth and glisten- ing, about four inches in length, two in width, and one in thickness. It ordinarily weighs in the adult male about five ounces, but is somewhat lighter in the female. A small ors an! you say. But understand, the body of the average size man conta ins about ten quarts of blood, of avhtch erety drop passes through these filters CT se,cers, as they may be called, mdnu times q day as often as through the heart, making complete revo- lutlon in three minltes. From the blood they serarate the waste, material, working away steadily night and day, sleeping or waking, tireless as the heart itself and fully of as much vital importance; removing i'm purities from sixty-five gallons of blood each hour; or, about forty nine barrels each day, or.9, l25 hogsheads year! What q wonder that the kidneys can last any length of time under this prodigious strain; treated and neglected as they are!
 We slice this deli ate organ open length wise with our knife, and will roughly de- scrite its interior.
 We find it to be of reddish brown color, soft and easily torn; filled with hundreds of litte tubes, short and threa l-li1e; starting from the arteries ending ill little tuft about midway from the outside opening into 6 cavity of considerable size, which is called is for T the purposs of holding the water to further undergo publication before it passes down from here into the uteters, and so on to the outside of the body These little tut es are the filters which do their work auto matically, and right here IS ,ehere the dts ease 6f tHe Kidney first begi,,s:
 Doing the vast amount of work which they are obliged to, from the slie hest irreg- ularity in our habits, from cold, from high living, from stimulants or a thousand and one other causes which occrr every day, they for q.
 What is the result! Congestion or stoppage of tue current of blood in the small blood vessels surrounding them, which become blocked; these delioats membra1es are irri- tated; inflammation is set up, then pus Is formed; which collects in the pelvis or sa {; the tubes are at first partially, and soon are totally unab!e to do their work: The pelvic sac goes on distending with this corruption; pressing upon the blood vessels. All this time, remember; the blood; which is entering the kidneys to be filtered, is passinq through thts terrible, dis sgusting pus, for it cannot take any other route!
 Stop and think of it for moment! Do ycu realize the importance, nay the vital ne- cessity, of having the kidneys in orders Can structed, no matter how lttle that you can have pure tICOd and escape dtSedSe? 1t would be iu t as reasonable to expect, if a pesth house were Set across Broadway and countless thou Is were compelled to go through its pesti ential doors, an escape from contagion and disease. as for one to expect the blood to escape pollution when con tantly running throu ,h a diseased kidney. Now, what is the resulte Why, that the blood takes up and deposits this poison as it sweeps along into every organ, into every inch of muscle, tissue, flesh and bone; from your head to your feet. And whenever, from i hereditary influence or otherwise some part of the body is weaker than another, a count 1 less train of disc ases is established, such a. ! consumption in weak lungs, dyspepsia where there is delicate stomach; nervousness, in | sanity, paralysis or heart disease in those l who have weak nerves.
 1 The hfdrt Htist sooat feel the effects of tn poison, tts tt ire lures pure btooa to keep : m right action. It increases its stroke i, number and force to compensate for tn natural stimulus wanting, in it's endeavor t crowd the impure blood through this ob struction, causing. pain, palpitation, or al out-of-breath feeling. Unnatural as thl l faEcedlabor is,- t hos heart must soon falter + Becoming " aler and weaker until one da fitsa,t denly stops; and death from Apparen "hea.t disease is the verdict:
 But the medical profession, learned an' dignifed, call these diseases by high soundin 1 names, treat them alone, and patients die 1 for the arteries are oar1yin1 slo,o dedth t 1 the affected p01't, constantly adding fue l brought from these suppuratlng, pus-lade kidneys which here in our wash bowl ar very putrefaction itself, and which shoul l have been cured first
 Tut this is not all the kidneys have to dc for you mrst remember that each adult take about seven pounds of nourshment ever twenty-four hours to supply the waste of tn body which is constantly going on, a vast equal to the quantity taken. This, too, tn kidneys have to separate from the blood wit all other decomuosing matter.
 But you say: My kidneys are all right.

 Why? Because the disease begins, as W have shown, in the int rior of tle kidney where there are fe,c ncrues of tecling to COT vey the sen ation of pain. Why this Is s we may never know.
