fever RACES everywhere!

way IN
Typhoid fever RACES everywherel
Wherever cities are dependent upon riv-
ers or streams for their drinking water,
the fever RACES violently. Throughout the
entire Southwest and Northwest the wells
are low; the water is Of very poor quality;
and here also the fever RACES.
The authorities Of Albany, New York,
Chicago, Cincinnati, st. Louis, Philadelphia
and other large cities arc warning the peo-
pie not u drink the water without first
boiling 1t to kill the malarial and typhoid
| germs.
Surely a winter of malaria and typhoid
will i'll prepare our people to encounter q
summer Of cholera.
Cholera and typhoid and malarial fevers
can all be prevented by simple rules of life,
and these rules should be studied by every
one. These diseases are symptoms of a low
state of the system, produced by the vitiat-
ed blood.
This blood is made impure because of the
impurities in the drinking water, these im-
purities being deadly poisons which p~aralyze
the nerve action of the kidneys and liver.
When these blood-purifying organs are par.
alyzed, then the natural waste of the body
the uric acid-accumulates in the blood,
and fever can not be prevented until this
excess OF uric acid has been removed.
The greatest necessity Of everyday life is
pure water. Two-thirds Of ones body is
made up of water. If the water we drink is
impure, then how can we hope to escape
diseased conditionsf
1t is impossible. The stomach, liver and
kidneys can not purify polluted water.
Some cautious people resort to the filter
for purifying this water, but even tho filter
does not remove this poison, for water of the
most deadly character may pass through
this filter and become clear, yet tho poison,
disguised, is there.
They who use filters know that they must
become renewed at regular periods, for
even though they do not take out all the I'M
purity, they soon become foul.
Now in like manner the human kidneys
act as o filter for the blood, and if they are
filled up with impurities and become foul
like the filter, all the blood in the system
coursing through them becomes bad, for ii is
now a conceded fact that the kidneys are the
chief means whereby the blood is purified.
These organs are filed with thousands OF
hair-like tubes, which drain the impurities
from the blood, as the sewer pipes drain
impurities from our houses.
If o sewer pipe breaks under the house,
the sewage escapes into the earth and fills
the house with poisonous gas; so if any OF
tho thousand and one little hair-likc sewer
tubes of the kidneys break down, the entire
body is affected by this awful poison.
II is a scientific fact that the kidneys have

disease may exist in these organs Tor a long
time and not be suspected by the individual.
1t is impossible to filter or take the death
out of the blood when the least derange-
ment exists in these organs, II if the
blood is not filtered then the uric acid or
kidney poison, removable only by Warmers
safe cure, accumulates in the system and
attacks any organ, producing nine out OF ten
ailments, Just as gas and bad drain
age produce so many fata! disorders.
Kidney disease may be known to exist il
there is any market departure from ordt-
may health without apparent known cause,
and it should be understood by all that the
greatest peril exists and is intensified If
there Is tho least neglect 20 treati it promptly
with that great specific, Warmers safe cure,
q remedy that has received the highest rec
ognition by scientific men, who have thor
oughly investigated the character Of kidney
arrangements.
The liver, when doranged, Immediately

patcd bowels, coated tongue and headaches;
but the kidney when diseased struggles on
for a long time, and tho fact OF its disease
can only DO discovered by the aid Of the mi
croscope or by the physician who IS ski!lful
enough to trace the most indirect effects in
tho system to the arrangement Of these or.
gans as the prime cause.
