There are a 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 unhealthy
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 kidneys.
They have to suffer the conse-
quences.
But the consequences would not be
SO bad if they would take DR.. 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,
nephritis and other dangerous kid
nev troubles.
Or we may have rheumatism, govt.
| neuralgia, general muscular weak.
ness. etc.; or anamia, pale and sal
| low complexion. chlorosis or green
| sickness, dizziness, etc.: or skin
diseases, pimples, blotches. erup'
tiOns, 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 be-
comes question of simple common
| 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.
DIR. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills
| contain, in concentrated form, spe.
cial'vegetable drugs which cure and
| renew the kidneys.
The combination from which thew
are made is found in no other medi-
cine or prescription. It was frs,
used by DR.. Hobb in his private
Practic many years ago. and was SO
unfailingly successful that his origi.
nal prescription was finally made ut
into DR.. Hobbs Sparagus kidney
Pills. The concentrated extract Of
asparagus, which is the principal in
gredient. is prepared exclusively by
the Hobbs Medicine Company, undci
