The Use of Asparagus in
Medicine Officially
Recognized.
Eminent French Physicians Have
Found 1t Valuable-What the
~. S. Health Reports" says
About Sparagus Kidney
Pills and Their Cur
alive Powers.
.sparagus is 4 kidney tonic.

Asparagus is kidney tonic.
1t builds up and invigorates the
kidneys, and cures them from the
effects of injuries, overwork, etc.
Doctors agree that asparagus is
good for the kidneys, but no strong
extract with all the medicinal prop
critics had been prepared until DIR.
Hobb prepared it from the roots by
a special process of his own.
He found this so successful that he
made it up into pills, with some few
other ingredients, and used them in
his private practicsfor years.
This was the origin of DIR. Hobbs
Sparagus Kidney Pills.
French physicians of repute have
carefully tested asparagus in all kid
ney troubles, and consider it of great
value.
Now the United States Health Re-
ports, Vol. XXIV., No. ?, has this to
say:
"Dr. Dio Lewis said: Nineteen
diseases out of twenty originate
from diseased kidneys, and those
who have made pathology a study
will agree with this eminent physi-
clan that where the kidneys fail 10
perform their functions in any way
the whole system becomes encrvatcd
aud the body diseased. When the
kidneys fail to perform their wontcd
task, effete and injurious matter is
carried to all parts of the body.
Through mistaken diagnosis, these
symptoms are often pronounced sep
aratc and distinct diseases, bat as a
matter of fact they can only be cured
by remedies which reach and relieve
the overworked kidneys and
strengthen them. so that they can
successfully act their part as cleans
ers of the body, thereby insurins
regularity, strength and good health
throughout the entire system.
Among all the remedies claiming
to perform this much desired result
and which have been investigated b,
the compilers OF these Reports, it ha:
been found that while there wa.
much to commend there was much
to be desired. 1t is, therefore. will
more than ordinary pleasure, after a
most painstaking investigation ant
a long and careful examination OF
the results achieved by the remedy
placed upon the market by the
Hobbs Medicine company, known as
DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills
that we pronounced this preparation
a kidney remedy par-excellence, ant
one that will speedily and cffectually
cure all diseases of the kidneys
whatever their origin or name, OF
however chronic or deep-seated the,
may be.
during a quarter of a century Of
journalism, during which time W.
have exercised watchful care ovel
many of the preparations having fo
their object the cure of kidney dis
eases, we have never come across .
preparation of such merit as DIR
Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills"
BY eating asparagus a slight effec
is had on the kidneys. but tn
greater part of the curative propert,
of the plant is not absorbed and goe
to waste.
The extract of asparagus, however
as prepared by DIR. Hobb contains al
the active curative elements so pre-
pared that they are at once absorbe'
and do their work of curing the kid
neys without waste or loss.
