DEADLY DRINKING WATER,
A Universal Epidemic Caused. How II
May be Avoided.
fever RACES everywhere /!

Typhoid fever RACES everywhere
Wherever cities are dependent upon
rivers 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, Philadel-
phia and other large cities are warning
the people not to drink the water with
out first boiling it to kill the malarial and
typhoid germs.
Surely winter of malaria and typhoid
will ill prepare our people to encouter
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 Initiated blood.
This blood is made impure because of
the impurities in the drinking water,
these impurities being deadly poisons
which paralyze the nerve action of the
kidneys and liver. When these blood
purifying organs are paralyzed, then the
natural waste of the body-the uric
acid-accumulates in the blood, and
fever cannot 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 conditions?
1t is impossible The stomach, liver
and kidneys cannot purify polluted water.
Some cautious people resort to the
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 the 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 impurity, they soon become foul.
Now in like manner the human kid
neys act as filter foY 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 be-
comes bad for it 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 tubs, which drain the impurities
from the blood as the sewer pipes drain
If a 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
awful poison.
1t is scientific fact that the kidneys
have few nerves OF sensation; and, con-

organs for 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 arrangement exists in
these organs, and if the blood is not
filtered then the uric acid or kinney
poison, removable only by Warmers safe
cure, accumulates in the system and
attacks any ergan, producing nine out OF
ten ailments, just as sewer gas and bad
| drainage produce SO many fatal disorders.
Kidney disease may be known to exist
if there is any marked departure from
ordinary health without apparent known
cause, and it should be understood by all
that the greatest peril exists and is in
| tensifed if there is the least neglect to
treat it promptly with that great specific,
Warmers safe cure, a remedy that has
received the highest recognition by
scientific men, who have thoroughly in
vestigated the character OF kidney de-
engagements.
The liver, when deranged, immediately
announces the fact by sallow skin, con-
stipated bowels, coated tongue and head.
aches; but the kidney when diseased
struggles on for long time, and the fact
of its disease can only be discovered by
the aid of the microscope or by the
physician who is skilful enough to trace
the most indirect effects in the system to
the arrangement of these organs as the
prime cause.
