DEADLY DRINKING MA1ERt
4 Universal Epidemic Caused. How It Nav
be Avoided.
Typhoid 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 North west 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 warming
the people not to drink the water with
out first boiling it to kill the maIariGl
and typhoid germs.
Surely q winter OF malaria and typhoid
will Ill prepare our people to encounter
summer. of cholera.
Cholera and typhoid and malarial few
ers can all be prevented by simple rules
Of life, and these rules should be studied
by every one. These diseases are symp
toms of 2 low state of the system, pro
cuced 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 ore paralyzed, then the
uasural waste of the body-the uric acid
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 conditions?
1t is impossible. The stomach, liver
and kidneys cannot purify polluted
water.
Some cautious people resort to the fit
er 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 kidnys
act as filter for the blood, and if they
are filed up with impurities and become
foul like the fl6er, all the blood in the
system coursipg through them becomes
bad, fer is is now conceded fact that the
kidneys are the chief means whereby the
blood is purified. These organs are filed
with thousands of hair-like tubes. which
drain the impurities from the blood, as
the sewer pipes drain impurities from
our houses.
If 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 down,
the entire body is affected by this awful
poison.
1t is a scientific fact that the kidneys
have few nerves of sensation; and, con.
sequently, disease may exist in these or
gans for long time and not be suspected
by the individual. 1t is impossible to FL
ter or take the dsath out of the blood
when the least arrangement exists in
these organs, and if the blood is not fill
tered 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 all
ments, just as sewer gas and bad drain
age produce SO many fatal disorders.
Kidney disease may be known to exist
if there is any marked departure from Or
binary health without apparently known
cause, and it should be understood by all
that the greatest peril exists and is in
tensified if there is the least neglect to
treat it promptly with that great specific,
warmers safe cure, remedy that has re-
ceived the highest recognition by scien-
tific men, who have thoroughly investi-
gated the character of kidney derange-
ments.
The liver, when deranged, Immediately
announces the fact by sallow skin, consti-
pated bowels, coated tongue and head
aches; But the kidney when descaased
struggles on for long time, and the
fact of its disease can o1ly be discovered
by the aid of the microscope or by the
physician who is skiIlful enough to trace
the most Indirect effects in the system to
the arrangement of these organs as the
prime cause.
