Full Of Peril

Are those disorders which, beginning
with an apparently trivial inactivity of
the kidneys or bladder, terminates in
Brights disease, diabiabetes and
cystitis. The first two not only in
terrupt the functions of the renal
organs, but destroy their structure
with as much certainty as tubercular
consumption does that of the lungs.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is an ex-
cellent diruetic, promoting the aictv-

citing them, thus averting the deadly
maladies in which their inaction is 80
prone to cultivate. The removal from
the blood of impurities which the
kidneys should, but do not, when in
active, secrete is another beneficient
