WHAT ABOUT OUR
KIDNEYS?
Some Facts About Their
Pains and Diseases.
The Symptoms of Sick Kidneys and
the Diseases That Sick Kidneys
Will Cause-A Sure Cure
for the Kidneys and
for These Diseases.

There are great many people who
don't know that the kidneys are
simply filters.
All the blood made by the food we
eat passes through our kidneys.
The kidneys separate what is bad
from what is good, what is I'M
healthy from what is healthy, throw
out the bad and let the good pass on
to nourish our body.
And this is going on every minute
of our lives.
Some folks overwork their kid
neys.
They have to suffer the. conse-
quences.
But the consequences would not
be so bad if they would take DIR.
Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills.
The kidneys get overworked from
worry, hard work of the body or
mind, excuses, overeating, etc.
Worry is probably the most COM
mon of these causes.
Overwork of the kidneys makes
them sick, and they make us sick.
When the kidneys are sick the
blood suffers. 1t gets poor. thin,
unhealthy, poisonous.
When our kidneys are sick we may
have Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Ne
phritis and other dangerous kidney
troubles.
Or we may have Rheumatism,
Gout. Neuralgia, General Muscular
Weakness, etc.; or Apemia, Pale and
Sallow complexion. Chlorosis or
Green Sickness, Dizziness, etc.; or
Skin Diseases, Pimples, Blotches.
Eruptions, etc.
1t may seem wonderful that one
medicine should be able to cure all
these diseases, but when we remem-
Der that they are all caused by i'm
pure blood, and that the impure
blood is caused by the kidneys, it
becomes question Of simple COM
mon sense.
The kidneys make pure blood.
Pure blood means health.
Therefore. when you have diseases
of impure blood, cure your kidneys
with DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney
Pills.
This will make you we'll and strong
and hearty.
DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills
contain, in concentrated form, spe-
cial vegetable drugs which cure and
, renew the kidneys.
The combination from which they
are made is found in no other medi.
cine or prescription. It was first
used by DR.. Hobb in his private prac.
tice many years ago, and was so un.
failingly successful that his original
prescription was finally made up
into DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney
Pills. The concentrated extract oil
Asparagus, which is the principal
ingredient. is prepared exclusively
by the Hobbs Medicine company
,, under special process.
DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills
will cure you when you are sick.
They will put new blood and new
life into you. They will give you
