In view of the great Importance of this
challenge, not only to the citizens of Sa-
vannah. but to the entire civilized world
the public will be interested in the out
come of what may be properly termed a
public investigation of discovery that
will become famous and prove of incal-
culable importance to the great mass of
people who are suffering in one way and
another from kidney ailments and other
attending ills.
The offer made by Dr. Hobbs in his
challenge above alluded to, is a simple
and plainly worded one In a nutshell
he asserts that he has discovered a rem
edy that will positively cure that most
insidious and common of all complaints
disease of the kidneys; which is wreck
ing men and women by the score daily.
The good that can be accomplished
by a positive specific, one that can be ad-
ministered in a simple and plain way
in other words, grand, universal medi-
cine for all kidney troubles-will be hailed
as a Godsend everywhere
The claims made for the remedy in
question are, speaking in a general sense,
that the Hobbs Remedy Company of Chi
cago and San Francisco are the owners
Of an ASPARAGUS KIDNEY REMEDY
which they positively assert will cure all
kidney diseases, with the exception of
those where tumors and ulcers have form
ed and a surgical operation IS necessary.
1t is not our purpose in this article to
enter into a general discussion of the vast
number of different forms of kidney
troubles but to treat them as a whole,
as space in this paper does not permit us
to do otherwise.

branch, and, of course, he climbed on my

coiled around 1t, out from the branch, so
that he could not escape. By making the
