And yet he does not know it W
The thing which makes Brghts disease
of the kidneys, which that man undoubted-
ly has, the most dangerous of all diseases is
that it has no symptoms of its own l mean
that pain is seldom felt in the kidneys them
| selves, and yet deliberately state as Il ply
scan that nearly one-half of the deaths in
America are caused by Bright's disease Of the
kidneys. This may sound like rash state
meut but | am prepared to fully verify it,.
Hundreds of burial certificates have been
made out by family physicians for heart
disease apopleXy,' paralysis spinal com
plaint,' rheumatism. pneumonia and other
common complaints when in reality it was
Brights disease of the Kidneys"
Few physicians and fewer people realize
the extent of this disease or its dangerous
and insidious nature. 1t steals into the
system like thief, manfests itself by the
cOmmOnest symptoms and fastens Itself upon
the constitution before the victim is aware of
its presence. 1t is nearly as hereditary as
consumption, quite as common and fully as
fatal. Entire families, inheritng it from
their ancestors, have died, and yet none of
the plumber knew or realized the mysterious
power which was removing them"
Not only this, but until recent years, no
remedy was known which could prevent or
cure this most fearful Of diseases, and even
to-day, with all the Advancement OF science,
there is but one known discovery by which
II can be prevented, controlled when it is
contracted, or finally cured. That remedy
is Warmers Safe Cure, and it has, to my
certain knowledge, saved more people from
in perfect health to-day than any other dis
covery ever known in the entire history of
the world. 1t was concerning this remedy
that the late DIR. Dio Lewis said
While my own life has been devoted
to the prevention of disease, and while
years ago | gave up the use of medicines,
| gratefully recognize the precious value
OF Warmers Safe Cure and If | found my
self the victim Of kidney trouble, should
instantly use it,"
When physicians of the highest stand
ing SO unhesitatingly endorse modern
discovery, which will certainly cure the
most terrible of diseases, does it nos
stand to reason that those of us who
realize that we are slowly drifting into a
state of decline; that our kidneys liver OF
urinary organs are not what they should be,
should avail ourselves of the benefits of 50
great a scientific discovery, which are placed
so easily within our reachY
