The chief function of the kidneys is to sepa-
rate from the blood, in it's passage through
them, of certain impurities and watery par
ticles which make their final exit through the
bladder The retention of these, in conse
quence of inactivity of the kidneys, is produc-
tive of Bright's disease, dropsy, diabetes,
albuminuria and other maladtes with a fatal
tendency. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
highly sanctioned diuretic and blood depurent,
tmpels the kidneys when inactive to renew
their sitting function, and strain from the vital
current impurities which infest it and threaten
their own existence as organs of the body.

HOW MADE $1,000

By not sowing Salzer's seeds That is
what a jolly farmer said as he entered
our sanctum. How is that? Why,
says he, Salzer's seeds not only grow
but they produce enormously. Had
planted few acres more of his oats,
wheat, corn, potatoes, grass and clover
seeds, l would have had to double the
capacity of my barns; that would have
cost me 81, 200. 1t is fact that if you
want big, rousing farm, grass and vege-
table crops, you must sow Salzer's seeds.
