DEADLY DRINKING WATeR
vnivsrs.I Epidemic Caused. Hsw ii
 May be Avoided.

Typhoid fever rages everywhere!
 Wherever cities are dependent upor
 rivers or streams for their drinking water
 the fever rages violently. Throughout
 the entire Southwest and Northwest the
 wells are low the water is of very poor
 quality and here also the fever rages.
 The authorities of Albany, New York,
 Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Philadel- phis and other large cities are warning
 Lhs people not to drink the water with
 cut first boiling il to kill the malarial and
 typhoid germs.
 Surely a winter of malaria and typhoid
 will ill prepare our people to eneouter
 summer of cholera
 Cholera and typhoid and malarial
 levers can all be prevented by simple
 rules of life, and these rules should bs Studied by every one. These diseases are symptoms of low state of thesystem, | produced by the vitiated blood. This blood is made impure because or 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 lever cannot be prevented until this excess of uric acid has been removed. The greatest necessity of everyday life is pure water. Two-thirds of o1e's body is made up of water. If the water we drink is impure, then how can we hope to escape diseased conditionsI It 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 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 be- comes bad, for 1t IS now a conceded fac. that .he 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 impurities from our houses.
 H 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 ike sewer tubes of the kidneys break down, the entire body IS affected by this awful poison.
 It is a scientific fact that the kidneys have few nerves of sensation; and, con | sequently, disease may exist in these | organs for long time and not O. suspected | by the individual. It 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 kidney | poison, removable only by Warmers safe cure, accumulates in the system and attacks any organ, producing nine out of ten ailments, just as sewer gas and bad drainage produce 90 many fatal disorders.
 Kidney disease may be known to exist If there IS any mdrk>d departure from ordinary health without apparent known cause, and 1t should be understood by all that the greatest peril exists and is in- tensiied 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 men. who have thoroughly in- vestigsted the character of kidney de- 
 The liver, when deranged, imHediately 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 ot its dissase can only be discovered by The aid of the microscope or by the | physician who is skiliul enough to trace .he most indirect effects in the system to he Arrangement of these organs as the prime cause,
