DEADLY DRINKING WATER,
A Universal Epidemic Caused. How IL May
be Avoided.
Typhoid fever rsces eysrvxhsre,

typhoid fever rsges evsryvhere!
wherever cities are dependent upon
rivers or streams for their drinking water.
the fever RACES violently. Throughout
the entire Southwest snd North west the
wells are low; the water is of very poor
qusllty; and here also the fever rages.
The authorities of Albany, New York.
Chicago, Cincinnati, ST. Louis, Philadel
phis and other large cities are warning
the people not TO drink the water with
out FIRST boiling il TO kill the malarial
and typhoid germs.
Surely winter of malaria and typhoid
VIII Ill prepare our people TO encounter
summer of ckolers.
Cholera and typhoid and malsrisl few
ers can all be prevented by simple rules
II life, ana these rules should be stud ed
by every one. These diseases are symp
toms OF low state of the system, pro
cuced by the vitisted blood.
This blood is made impure because of
me impurities in the drinking water
these impurities being deadly poisous
which parslyze the nerve action OF the
kidneys and liver. When these blood
purifying organs ore psralyzed, then fls
ma ural waste of the hody-the uric acid
accumulares in the blood, and fever can
not be prevented until this excess of uri,
acid has been removed.
The greatest necessity of everyday life
Is pure water. Two thirds of ONES bod
Is made up of water. If the water We
drink Is impure, then how can We hope t.
escape diseased conditions?
1t is impossible. The stomach, liver
and kidneys cannot purify polluted
water.
Some cautious people resort to the fit
er for purifying this water, but even the
filter does not remove this poison, for
water of the most deadly character ma,
pass through this filter and becoms clear
Yet the poison disguised, is there.
They who use filters know that they
must become renewed al regular periods.
for even though they do not take ont all
the imPurity, they soon become foul
Now in like manner the human kidnys
act as g filter for the blood, and if they
are filed up with impurities and become
foul like the filter, all the blood in the
system coursirg through them becomes
bad, for 1t Is now a conceded fact that the
kidneys are the chief means whereby the
blood is purified. These organs are filled
with thousands of hair-lIke tubes, which
drain the impurities from the blood, as
the sewer pipes drain impurities from
our houses.
If sewer pipe breaks under the house,
the sewage escapes into the earth and
fills the house with poisonous gas; so if
any of the thousand and one little hair like
sewer tubes of the Kidneys break down,
the entire body is affected by this awful
poison.
1t is a scientific fact that the kidneys
have few nerves of sensation; and, con
sequently, disease may exist in these or
gans for long time and not be suspected
by the individual. 1t is impossible to fiji
ter or take the dsath out of the blood
when the least arrangement exists in
these organs, and if the blood is not fl
tered then the uric acid or kidney poison,
removable only by Warmers safe cure,
acoumulates in the system and attacks
any organ, producing nine out of ten all
ments, just as sewer gas and bal drain
age produce so many fatal disorders.
Kidney disease may be known TO exist
If there Is any marked departure from or
binary health without apparently known
cause, and 1t should be understood by ali
that the greatest peril exists and is in
tensifed if there is the least neglect to
treat 1t promptly with that great specific,
Warmers safe cure, remedy that has re-
ceived the highest recognition by scien
titio men, who have thoroughly investi-
gated the character of kidney derange
ments.
The liver, when deranged, inanlndidtely
announces the fact by saIlOw skin, oOnsti-
pated bowels, coated tongue and head
aches; but the kidney when desceased
struggles on for long time, and the
fact of its disease can oaly be discovered
by the aid of the microscope or by the
physician who is skillful enough to trace
the most indirect effects in the system to
the arrangement of these organs as the
prime cause.
