HOPE FOR CONSERVATIVES.
A New Theory of the Dread Disease Which Seems
Very Sensible.


In fifty per cent. of the cases, consumption is
only the symptom of some other diseased
The disease, in such cases. cannot be cured
until the cause, whatever it is, is removed.
More than half the victims of consumption
have albumen in the water.
What docs this Indicate ~
Albumen cannot appear in what escapes from
the body, if the organs which take the water
from the blood are healthy.
We drink water in large quantities every
day. This water goes through the body and
washes away the waste matter and decay of the
system, and takes it to the kidneys. If these
organs are healthy, this waste in solution in
the water is removed by them. If not the
natural action is reversed and, instead of re-
moving the waste, that poisonous stuff remains
in the blood but the real life-giying element,
or the albumen, escapes.
Fancy the effect
This uric acid waste is rank poison, and at
tacks the weakest organ first. The Brompton
Hospital of London, England, shows in its re-
ports That over 81 per cent. of the victims of
consumption are really victims of kidney dis
ease, the lung trouble being shown by the
presence of albumen in the blood to be but the
indication of kidney arrangement. The real
cause Of pulmonary troubles being so authorl-
tatively shown to be faulty, even though I'M
suspected action of the kidneys explains why,
IN order to master the dreaded consumption,
one must rid the blood of the uric acid irri-
tant, which infames and burns up the lung
substance. For this purpose there is moth
ing equal TO that great specific, Warmers
safe cure This remedy has won the favor
Of medical men all over the world, purely on
lis merits. We have no doubt that If the kid
neys are kept in natural action, consumption
and q great many other diseases caused by
uric acid, will net only be cured, but will be
prevented.
J. W. Westlake, of ut. Vernon, Ohio, had a
sister residing in Michigan who was thought
surely to be going with consumption. She took
ten bottles of Warmers safe cure, which he sent
her, and he says: "That was the last / heard
OF her consumption" Thousands of such cases
are developed every day.
Dip your finger in acid every day, and it
soon testers and is destroyed. Send aeid-poi-
soned blood through the lungs every second,
and they soon give way.
This, then, is the condition of things that
always precedes consumption: First, weakened
kidneys; second, retained uric acid, poisoning
the blood; the development Of disease IN the
lungs by the irritant acids passing through
them. Then there is a little cough in the morn
ing; soon, thick, yellow matter is spit up, fol-
lowed by loss of flesh and strength, with dread
full night sweats; and when the patient goes to
his school physician for help he is put on cod
liver oil, which his stomach, weakened also by
uric acid in the blood, cannot digest. Because
there is no pain present in the kidneys, the
patient does not think they are affected, but
the kidney acid is doing its work every min
ute every hour, day and night, and by and by
the disease of the lungs has advanced until pus
is developed, then comes hemorrhages, and at
last the CLASSY stare of the eyes, which denotes
that the end is near.
4 post-mortem examination OF such cases
shows that the terrible uric acid has completely
destroyed the substance of the lung.
1t is impossible TO cure lung diseases when
the blood is poisoned with uric acid.
