The Danger Which Menaces an Un.
 suspeeGfng Public.

suspeeting Public. The Brompton Hospital for Consumptives, in London, reports that over fifty people out of every hundred consumptives are victims of constipated or inactive kidneys. Consumption is one of our national dis eases, and the above report goes to prove what has often been said in our columns during the last eight years, that kidney trou- bles are not only the cause of more than half of the cases of consumption, but of ninety out of every hundred other common diseas- es. They who have taken this position made their claims after elaborate investigation, and their proof that they have discovered a spe- ci6c for the terrible and stealthy kidney dis- eases, which have become so prevalent among us, is wise and convincing.
 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 inves- tigated and those who are frank have admit ted the truth of their statements They claim that ninety per cent. of diseases come originally 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-fours to kill half dozen men.
 This being 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 eye- ry organ. If the bowels, stomach or liver become inactive we know it at once, but oth- CT orgaus 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 un- able to resist the attacks of this poison, and 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 fact twenty years ago, that kidney disease Is incurable according to the medicines authorized by their code. Hence they ignore the original cause of disease it. self and give their attention to useless treat ing of local effects.
 phine, or with salts and other physics, hop ing that thus nature may cure the disease. while the kidneys continue to waste away with inflammation, alteration and decay, and the victim eventually perishes.
 The same quantity of blood that passes
 
 If the kidneys are diseased the blood soaks up this disease and takes it all through the system. Hence it is that the claim is made that Warmers safe cure, the only known spe- ci6c for kidney disease, cures ninety per cent. of human ailments, because it and it alone is able to maintain the natural activity 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 inac- tivity of the kidneys, and there will be pro- duced in the system paralysis, apoplexy, dys- pepsia, consumption, heart disease, head aches. rheumatism, pneumonia, impotency and all the nameless diseases of delicate wo- men. If the poisonous matter is separated from the blood as fast as it is formed these diseases in majority of cases would not ex. ist
 It only requires a particle of smallpox virus to produce that vile disease and the poisonous matter from the kidneys passing all through the system and becoming lodged at different weak points, is equally destruc- tive, although more disguised.
 If is 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 9 matter over which we have no control. Careful investigation and science itself are proving beyond doubt that this organ is 1n fact more important than any other in the system as 8 health regulator, and as such should be closely watched for the least sign Of dlsordered action.
