The sole duty of the kidneys is to purify
the blood
Healthy Kidneys-Pure Blood.
Pure BlOod-Rich, Pure Milk.
Rich, Pure Milk-Strong Healty Baby
This is not hard argument to follow
Because it is the truth
Do you see its application? You mothers
with poor, flail, puny, halfnourished, and
more than halfpoisoned babies?
Do you wonder that their tender brain and
blood cannot resist pOisons and impurities
that make even you sick, dizzy, torpid, and
weak?

yourself to keep your kidneys active and
your blood pure.
