He was brought into court on a. warrant

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT IT Isl

You feel strangely depressed,
weak, perhaps have no appetite,
and with peculiar pains through
outyourb body. Perhaps some one
will tell you you have the grip.
Perhaps you have, but the chances
are you are suffering from a de-
rangement of the greatest organs
in the body. DO you know this
great truth Much that is cali
cd grip is simply a arrangement
of the kidneys and no man or
woman ever had the grip whose
kidneys were in perfect order.
These great organs of the body
throw off the poisons of the
body. When they are out of or
der they cannot do this and the
result is the poisons go into the
blood and cause rheumatism, in
fuenza, and often pneumonia.
These are truths which all ply
sicians admit, and it is admitted
universally that there is but one
remedy known to the world for
deranged kidneys, and that is
Warmers Safe Cure. You can't
afford to neglect these truths nor
these suggestions.
