How Escape Smallpox With q Pest
House in Broadway?

O~F s--1azz-
Some time ago an article was published
in the Scientific American which at the |
time attracted wide attention. BY re
quest of correspondent we reproduce
the leading points therein:
To understand how intimately related
are the human kidneys to the physical
health, 1--WE propose, metaphorically
speaking, to take one from the human
body and place it in the wash-bowl be-
fore us, and examine it."
You will imagine that we have before
us a body shaped like bean, smooth
and glistening, about four inches in
length, two in width, and one ia thick
ness. 1t weighs in the adult about FIVE
ounces.
The body of the average size man con-
tains about ten quarts of blood, every
drop of which passes through these filters
or sewers many times day las often as
| through the heart), making a complete
| revolution in three minutes. The kidneys
take away deadly impurities from sixty
FIVE gallons of blood each hour, or about
forty-nine barrels each day.: or 9,125
hogsheads year.
Let us slice this delicate organ open
lengthwise, and roughly describe its in
terror.
We find it to be filled with hundreds of
| little tubes, short and threadlike, start
ing from the arteries, ending in little
tuft about midway from the outside,
/ opening into sac which holds the water
to further undergo publication before it
| passes into the ureters, and out of the
body. These little tubes are filters which
do their work automatically, and right
here the disease ofthe kidney first begins.
From the slightest irregularity in our
habits, from cold, from high living, from
stinulants, or thousand and one other
daily causes, they lose their force.
| What is the result? Congestion or
stoppage of the current of the blood in
the small blood vessels surrounding them
which become blocked; these delicate
membranes are irritated; inflammation is
set up, and then pus is formed, which col
lects in the sac; the tubes are at first
| partially, and soon totally unable to do
their work. The sac goes on distending
with this corruption, pressing upon the
blood vessels. All this time, remember,
the blood, which is entering the kidneys
to be filtered, is passing through this ter
ribly disgusting pus, for it cannot take
! any other route.
1t would be just as reasonable to ex-
pect to escape contagion, if a pest-house
were set across Broadway and countless
thousands were compelled to go through
its pestilential doors, as for one to ex-
pect the blood to escape pollution when
|
kidney.
Now what is the. result? Why, that
the blood takes up and deposits this poi
son as it sweeps along into every organ,
into every inch ofmuscle, tissue, flesh and
bone, from your head to your feet. And
whenever, from hereditary influence or
otherwise, one part of the body is weaker
than another a countless train of d is
eases is established, such as consumption
in weak lungs, dyspepsia where there is
a delicate stomach, nervousness, insanity
paralysis or heart disease, in those who
have weak nerves and bad circulation.
And the medical profession, knowing
that they cannot cure diseases of the kid
neys, treat the manifold symptoms caused
by this primary or causative disease.
AS fast as they cure one symptom anoth-
er secondary one appears, and SO they go
on, uselessiy treating effects, the cause
being untouched.
But you say "my kidneys are all right,
have no pain in the back" Mistaken
man! People die of kidney disease, of
so bad character that the organs are
rotten, and yet they never there had a
pain nor an ache.
How can you know that you have
kidney disease?"
Only by noting the general effects
wrought by the kidney poisoned blood
in other parts of the body. Kidney dis
ease DISCUSSES itself under symptoms OF
common head, lungs, skin, liver, and
stomach disorders.
fyou notice that you are not is as re-
liable health as formerly, in any respect,
then the chances are rhat, though you
may have no known chronic disease your
blood is full of uric kidney acid. Then
comes in the ounce of prevention. Then
you should use Warmers safe cure, the
only trustworthy specific for uric acid or
kidney disease, primary or secondary.
The most skillful physicians cannot de-
tect such disease at times, for the kidneys
themselves cannot be examined by any
means which we have at our command.
Even an analysis of the water, chemical
| y anu uliSioSSOplSdHy, lSNCdlS uOluiilS
definite in many cases, even when the
kidneys are fairly broken down.
Then look out for them, as disease, no
matter where situated, to ninety-three
per cent, as shown by after death exam
nations, has its origin in the breaking
down of these secreting tubes in the in
terror of the kidney.
Warmers safe cure, as it becomes year
after year better known for its wonder
full cures and its power over the kidneys,
has done and is doing more to increase
the average duration of life than all the
physicians known. 1t is true specific,
mild but certain, harmless but energetic
and agreeable to the taste.
Take it when sick, as cure, and never
let month go by without taking few
bottles as a preventive, that the Kidneys
may be kept in proper order, the blood
pure, that health and long life may be
your blessing.
