OFF DUTY.

1t is essential to the well being of the
physical economy that the kidneys and
bladder should be eternally active, that
they should never go "off duty" If they
do the kidneys fail to secrete from the
blood the watery element and the impur-
tiles that should be thrown off by the
bladder, and both organs suffer in organic
health from their inaction, and incur dan
gerous maladies. Among these are
Bright's disease of the kidneys, diabetes,
retntion Of the prime, gravel, dropsy, etc.
These are no trihes, but obstinate diseas-
es, developing rapidly, and terminating
too often fatally. To prevent or check
them, the safest and most effectual means
is H0stetter's Stomach Bitters, which
gives a healthful impetus to, but never
excites the renal organs, like the fiery,
unmedcated stimulants of commerce.
