The ecclesiastical functions OF rural

use prior to the Tractarian movement.
The revival Of their ancient authority
after 1880 led to the telling of many

Blisland. and of his interviewing the
parish clerk in the absence of the rec

there is no need OF it, for timber is plen-

THE NEW METHOD OF
''"'' BLOOD PURIFYING.
What the New Discovery in Medical
81 ScienceD Has accomplished.
THE EMINENT SPECIALISTS FREE OFFER TO ALL
READERS OF THIS PAPER.

For o great many years It has been
the custom for sick people to say; MY
blood is out Of order. 1t needs purify
ing. ] feel all used up. My skin needs
clearing. My brain feels tired"
They are right, butdo they act right?
They generally go and get a laxative
(bowef cleaner) to purify their blood.
Does their blood run through their
bowels? 70
Science has to-day furnished proofs
that all the purifying that your blood
needs, in fact, all that can be done,
must be done by your kidneys.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys every three min
utes.
The kidneys strain or filter out theim-
purities Of the blood-that is their work.
Purifying your blood is not ques-
tion of taking laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are already
in your blood, causing your present
sickness IL ldres there
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except BY means of your kid
neys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail 10 do
their work-they fail to help the kid
neys.
When you are sick, then. no matter
what you think the name of your dis
case is, the first thing you should do is
to afford aid 10 your kidneys by using
