H.H. WARNER, C. CO.,
Projectors Of" Varncr's Safe Cure
That we may emphasize and clear
ly explain the relation the kidneys
SUSTAIN to the general health, and
how much is dependent npon them,
we propose, metaphorically speak
ing, to take one from the human
body, place in the wash-bowl before
us, and examine it for the public
benefit.
You will imagine that we have be-
fore us body shaped like bean,
smooth and glistening, about four
inches in length. two in width, and
one IN thickness. 1t ordinarily
weighs in an adult male, about five
ounces. but is somewhat lighter in
the female. A small organ? you say.
But understand, the body Of the av-
erage size man contains about ten
quarts Of blood, Of arhich euery drop
passes through these filters or selc-
ers, rs they may be called, many
times day. as often as through the
heart, making q complete revolution
in three minutes. From the blood
they separate the waste material.

day, sleeping or waking, tireless as

gallons Of blood each hour, or about
80 barrels each day, or 9,l25 hogs
heads a year! What a wonder that
the kidneys can last any length Of
time under this prodigious strain,
treated and neglected as they are.
We slice this delicate organ open
lengthwise with our knife, and will
roughly describe its interior.
We find it to be OF u reddish-brow
color, soft and easily torn; filled with
hundreds OF little tubes, short and
thread like, starting from the arte-
ries, ending in u little tuft about mid
way from the outside opening into 9
cavity Of considerable size, which is
called the pelvis or roughly speak
ing, a sac, which is for the purpose
Of holding the water to further un-
dergo publication before it passes
down from here into the ureters, and
SO on to the outside Of the body
These little tubes are the filters
which do their work automatically
and right here is where the disease
Of the kidney first begins.
Doing the vast amount OF work
which they are obliged to, from the
slightest irregularuy in our habits
from cold from high living, from
stimulants or thousand and one
other causes which occur every day,
they become some what weak oned IL

What is the result? Congestion
