DEADLY DRINKING WATERi
A Universal Epidemic Caused. How ]

Typhoid fever rages everywhere.
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 are warning the peo-
pie not to drink the water without first
boiling it to kill the malarial and typhoid
germs.
Surely awnter of malaria and typhoid
will ill prepare our people to encounter
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 q 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 i'm
purities being deadly poisons which paralyze
the nerve action Of tho 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 conditionss
1t is impossible. The stomach, liver and
kidneys can no. purify polluted water
Some cautious people resort to tho filter
for purifying this water, but even the 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 u filter for the blood, and if they are
filed up with impurities and become foul
like the filter, all the blood in the system
coursing through them becomes bad, for it is
nova conceded fact that the kidneys arc 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
II sewer pipe breaks under the house,
the sewage escapes into the earth and fills
the house with poisonous gas; so if any of
tne Thousand ana one llttle nalr-llke 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, consequently,
disease may exist in these organs for a long
time and not Le 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, and if the
blood is not filtered then the uric acid or
kidney poison, removable only by Warmers
safe cure, acculnulates in the system and
attacks any organ, producing nino out of ten
ailments, just as sewer gas and bad drain
age produce SO many fatal disorders.
Kidney disease may be known TO exist ii
there is any mcrkcd departure from ordi-
nay health without apparent known cause,
and it should be understood by all that the
greatest peril exists and is intensified if
there is the least neglect to treat it promptly
with that great specific, Warmers safe cure,
remedy that has received the highest rec
ognition by scientific men, who have thor
oughly investigated the character Of kidney
arrangements
The liver, when dcranged, Immediately
announces the fact by sallow skin, consti-
pated bowels, coated tongue and headaches;
but the kidney when diseased struggles on
for q long time, and the fact of its disease
can only be discovered by the aid of the mi
croscope or by the physician who is skillful
enough to trace the most indirect effects in
the system to the arrangement of these or.
gans as the prime cause.
