CAN 1T BE AVERTED?
Tho Danger which Mennccs au Unsu
Dpctiun pcbIic.


The Brompton Hospital for consumptves,
In London, reports that over fifty people out
OF every hundred conSumptiveS arc victims
of constipatcd or inactive kidneys.
Consumption is one of our national dis
eases, and the above report goes to prove,
what has often been said i'll our columns
during the last eight years, that kidney
troubles are not only the cause of more
than half of the casas of consumption, but
of ninety out of every hundred other com
mon diseases They who have taken this
position, made their claims after elaborate
investigation, and their proof that they have
discovered Il specific for the terrible and
stealthy kidney diseases, which have become
so prevalent among us, is wise and convinc-
ing.
We have recently received from them a
fresh supply of their wonderful advertising.
They have challenged the medical profession
and science to investigate. They have nveSti-
gated, and those who are frank have admitted
the truth of their statements. They claim
that ninety per cent. of diseases come origin
ally from inactive kidneys; that these inactive
kidneys allow the blood to become filled with
uric acid poison; that this uric acid poison
in the blood carries disease through every
organ.
There is enough uric acid developed in the
system within twenty four hours to kill half
dozen men.
This being a scientific fact, it requires only
ordinary wisdom to see the effect inactive
kidneys must have upon the system.
If this poison is not removed, it ruins every
organ If the bowels, stomach or liver be-
comes inactive, we know it at once, but other
organs help them out. If the kidneys be
come constipated and dormant the warning
comes later ON, and often when it is too late,
because the effects are remote from the kid
neys and those organs are not suspected to
be out of order.
Organs that are weak and diseased are I'M
ill tI.,,
the disease often takes the form OF and is
treated as a local affection, when in reality
the real cause of the trouble was inactive
kidneys.
Too many medical men of the present day
hold what was n fact twenty years ago, that
kidney disease is incuralle, according to the
medicines authorized by their code. Hence,
they ignore the original cause of disease
itself, and give their attention TO useless
tresjng of local effects
They dos the patient with quinine, NOR.
phne or with salts and other physics, hop
ing that thus nature may cure the disease,
while the kidneys continue to waste away
with Inflammation, liberation and decay,
and the victim eventually pcrishes.
The same quantity of blood that passes
through the heart passes through the kid
neys. If the kidneys are diseased the blood
soaks up this scase and takes it all through
the system. Hence it is that the claim is
made that WarHers safe cure, the only
known specific for kidney disease, cures 30
PER cent. Of human ailments, because it, AMI
it alone is able to maintain the natural ac-
tivity of the kidneys. and to neutraliZe and
remove the uric acid, or kidney poison, as
fast as it Is formed.
If this acid is not removed, there is mac
tivity of the kidneys, and there will be pro-
duced in the system paralysis apopleXy, dys-
pepsia, consumption, heart disease, headaches,
rheumatism, pneumonia, impotency. and all
the namelesS diseases of delicate women. If
the poisonous matter is separated from the
blood, as fast as it s formed, these diseases,
i'll q ma iority of cases, would not exist.
1t only requires a particle of smallpox
virus to produce that vile disease, and the
poisonous matter from the kidneys, passing
all through the system an becoming lodged
atdtfcrent weak points, is equally destruc-
tive, although more disguip,d.
If it were possible for us to see into the
kidneys, and how quickly the blood passing
through them goes to the heart and lungs
and other parts of the system, carrying this
deadly virUs with it, all would believe with
out hesitation what has SO often been stated
in advertisements in these columns, that the
kidneys are the most important organs in the
body.
They may regard this article as an adver-
tisement and refuse to believe it, but that is
n matter over which we have 10 control.
Careful investigation and science itself are
proving beyond doubt that this organ is,
in fact more important than any other in
the system as a health regulator, and as such
should be closely watched, for the least sign
of disorderad action.
