PARALLEL LINES.

Every student knows that in clost
reasoning parallel lines of thought are
laid down and deductions educed.
It is not our purpose at this time to
enter into a learned discussion, and We
have drawn the above visible lines sim
ply to bring them prominently before
your eye and to ask what they rep
resent to you.
A railroad man to whom we showed
them said, 'To me those four lines rep
resent double-track railway"
A doctor replied to the same interrog'
atory, 1.-THE lines are to me the large
arteries and veins lying alongside each
other in the human BODY
As will be observed the same lines to
either gentleman suggested differen,
lines of thought, as both looked at them
through eyes accustomed to see only
that which for the most part occupied
their attention. To the writer both an.
swers put an old truth in fresh and
original light.
As every intelligent man or woman
knows, the blood of every living person
flows with almost railroad speed through
the arteries, forced by that wonderful
engine, the heart. From the arteries il
is side-tracked through the capillaries
and veins, and every drop of blood goes
through the kidneys for publication no
less than $500 times every twenty-four
hours. If the kidneys be diseased the
impurities of the blood containing the
WORKOUT tissues, and deleterious acids
are not drawn out or excreted as nature
Intended, but continually pass and re-
pass through every fiber of the system.
carrying death and decay with every
pulsation. Unless remedied the heart
becomes weakened, the lungs trying to
do double work break down, the liver
becomes congested, the stomach refuses
to digest food and the result is gener-
al break down.
Why?
Because the kidneys, the sewers of
the system, are foul and stopped up,
and the entire blood becomes nothing
more nor less than sewage.
Now is it not criminal, nay, suicidal,
to allow such state of things to con-
tinue when a simple remedy is within
your reach, known for certainty to do
as represented, which will open the
closed pipes of the kidneys, allow the
effete matter to escape, relieve the over
worked heart, lungs and liver, cause a
healthy appetite, put the bloom OF
health in your cheek, the dove of hope
in your heart, and the light of life IN
your eye?
You,already have OWNED the remedy
we have reference to; its praise is uni
versal, its influence worldwide. Do not
allow prejudice to blind you to your
best interests, but to-day procure War
ner's safe cure and be put on the
road to rude health and cor.
rect living.
Our parallel and closing lines to you
are, take our advice and your expert
ence will justify you in thanking us for
bringing under your notice remedy
without parallel.

century. NJ. Cattle, French cleo
