"ARE YOU CERTAIN?"
In Other Words, Just What is
Your Condition?
DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES
A Most Unusual Conversation With
a Great New York Professor Re-
produced Vervatim-Does
it Apply to You?
INV York T xchangc.l


am fortunate in knowing a prom
incnt professor of this city. He is
man OF deep research and worldwide
popularity. 1t is seldom that he I'M
bosoms himself, but he did so to
circle of friends and myself the other
evening. This is what he said;
ut is surprising how rapidly the
conditions of life are changing in
America"
.'Do you mean. Professor, in the
manner of living?"
Yes, and also in the manner of
dying. The habits of life, the nature
of work. even our diet is different
from what it was so or even 10 years
ago."
.'Do you think then the change has
been for the better?"
Yes and no. We undoubtedly
have higher state of existence now
than formerly, but for this very rea
son we are open to greater dangers.
We have modern diseases as well as
modern improvements.
DO you consider them serious?"
undoubtedly. A greater strain
or pressure in life naturally bring S
greater troubles. But above all, and
beyond all, is enc great difficulty
which may be correctly called the
modern disease. 1t is common to
both men and women, and even chill
dren are not free from it. 1t is the
least understood and at the same
time the most dangerous of all
known diseases. 1t has no dis
tinct symptoms of its own, but has
the symptoms of nearly every other
disease. Men and women have been
afflicted with it for years and did not
know what allied them. They may
have had peculiar pains. felt out of
sorts, Irregularities, headache and
scores Of other symptoms and actu-
allv did not Enow what was the mat
ter until it was, perhaps, too late"
ITO what do you refer, profess
sor?r
Il refer TO Bright's disease of the
kidneys, which l consider nothing
less than a modern monster. Its
great danger is in the very fact that
it is so insidious, so sly. if you
please, and indeed so little under
stood. Physicians seem bafiled
when brought face to face with it.
and do not hesitate to admit that
there is but ore known scientific and
certain remedy for it. whether in its
first or last stages. and that remedy
is Warmers Safe Cnre."
The professor paused for mo-
ment and reflected. Continuing he
said:
You may think that am radical
in making such statements. but l am
not. know whereof affirm and I
know that there are more men aud
women who have disease of the kid
neys in some of its stages today,
than any other known trouble. and
l do not except consumption. Why,
do you know that many cases of So
called pneumonia are nothing less
than the last stages of Bright's dis
ease? And do you also know that if
the kidneys are in perfect condition
it is almost impossible for the lungs
to be out of order, because the kid
neys throw the poison out of the sys-
tenn that.accumulates upon and rots
the lung tissue? Take my word for
it, there are thousands of men, aud
perhaps more women, who do not
know it, but who are today afflicted
with kidney disease. and l only wish
that they might be warned IN
time"
Twas much impressed by the pro-
fessor's earnest words and repro
duce them as nearly as poss. BILE for
the benefit of any one who may per-
haps be in such a condition as he
has described, and who needs immed-
late help. and such help only as can
be certain to save
