How Escape Small -pox With Pest House In Broad
way!
Some time ago an article was published in
the Scientific american which at the time at
tracted wide attention. By request of corre-
spondent we reproduce the leading points
therein:
To understand how intimately related are
the human kidneys to the physical health :" we
propose, metaphorically speaking, to take one
from the human body and place it in the wash
bowl before us, and examine it."
You will imagine that we have before Us a
body shaped like a bean, smooth and glisten-
ing, about four inches in length, two in width
and one in thickness. 1t weighs in the adult
about five ounces.
The body of the average size man contains
about ten quarts of blood, every drop of which
passes through these flterers, or sewers many
times day, (as often as through the hearty
making complete revolution in three min
utes. The kidneys take away deadly impuri-
ties from So gallons of blood each hour, or about
40 barrels each day, or g. 125 hogsheads year.
Let US slice this delicate organ open length
wise and roughly describe It's interior.
We find it to be filed with hundreds of little
tubes, short and thread-like starting from the
arteries, ending in little tuft about midway
| from the outside, opening into a sac which
holds the water to further undergo purifiea-
ton before 1t passes into the ureters, and out
of the body. These little tubes are filters which
| do their work automatically, and right here
| the disease of the kidney first begins.
| From the slightest irregularity in our habits,
| from cold, from high living, from stimalants or
a thousand and one other daily causes, they
| lose their force.
! What is the resultP Congestion or stoppage
of the current of blood in the small blood ves-
| sells surrounding them, which become blocked (;
! these delicate membranes are irritated; in
| hammation is set up, then pus is formed, which
| collects in the sac; the tubes are at first par
| TALLY, and soon totally unable to do their work.
! The sac goes on distending with this cOrrup-
| tion, pressing upon the blood vessels. All this
time, remember, the blood, which is entering
| the kidneys to be filtered, is passing through
this terribly disgusting pus, for it cannot take
! any other route
| 1t would be just as reasonable to expect to
! escape contagion if a pest-house were set across
| Broadway and countless thousands were COM
| PEELED to go through its pestilential doors, as
| for one to expect the blood to escape pollution
when constantly running through such dis
eased kidney.
| Now, what is the result? Why, that the
blood takes up and deposits this poison az il
| sweeps along into every organ, into every inch
of muscle, tissue flesh and bone, from your
head to your feet. And whenever, from heredi.
tary influence or otherwise, one part of the
| body is weaker than another q countless train
in weak lungs dyspepsia, where there is a deli
cate stomach, nervousness, insanity, paral ysis
| or heart disease in those who have weak nerves
and bad circulation.
But the medical profession, knowing that
/ they cannot cure diseases of the kidneys, treat
the manifold symptoms caused by this primary
| or causative disease AS fast as they cure one
symptom another secondary one appears, and
so they go on uselessly treating effects, the
cause being untouched
But you say "my kidneys are all right
have no pain the back. Mistaken man Peo
pie die of kidney disease, of so bad character
that the organs are rotten, and yet they nevei
| there had pain nor an ache.
How can you know that you have kidney
diseaseP"
Only by noting the general effects wrought
by the kidney poisoned blood in other parts ol
the body. Kidney disease disguises itself under
symptoms of common head, lungs, skin, liver
and stomach disorders.
If you notice that you are not in as reliablS
health as formerly, in any respect, then thS
chances are that though you may have nC
known chronic disease, your blood is full o.
uric kidney acid. Then comes in the ounce o
prevention. Then you should use Warner
safe cure, the only trustworthy specific for uri'
acid or kidney diseases, primary or secondary
The most skillful physicians cannot detec
such disease at times, for the kidReys them

we have at our command. Even an analysis o
The wster, chemically and microscOpically, re
veals nothing definite in many cases, ever
when the kidneys are fairly broken down.
Then look out for them, as disease, no matter
where situated, to SO per cent, as shown b.
after-death examinations, has its origin in TIN
breaking down of these secreting tubes in tht
interior of the kidney.
Warmers safe cure, as it becomes year afte
year better known for its wonderful cures ant
its power over the kidneys, has done and
doing more to increase the average duration Q
life than all the physicians known. 1t is tru
specific, mild but certain, harmless but ener
getic and agreeable to the taste.
Take it when sick, as a cure, and never let
month go by without taking few bottles as
preventive, that the kidneys may be kept i
proper order, the blood pure, that health an
long life may be your blessing"
