purities Be Properly Carried OFF.
Every one knows of the fatal results
which follow the stoppage of the drains
in house
Queen Victoria's husband, the Prince
Consort, died from poisonous germs,
which were generated in the palace by
the stoppage Of the drains
The kidneys, among their many
other functions, act as drains to the
| body. Through them the blood passes
to be purified, leaving behind mass
| OF effete matter which it is their duty
to eject from the system.
When, however, the kidneys become
congested and all clogged up. this ref
use matter acCumulates and becomes
an active poison. and in the course Of
( time tnfects the whole man. and event
ually, If the cause is not removed, it
occasions sudden death, the patient
drowning, as ii were, in his own secre-
tions.
The symptoms which nature puts
forth ike danger signals to tell US that
the kidneys no longer do their duty are
too numerous to set forth
Nearly always WOmens peculiar all
ments in their more aggravated and
protracted forms are traceable to this
source, and rheumatism. in all its va
ried phases; while pneumonia and
Bright's disease are but the culmina-
ton of an organic trouble, which. had
it been treated organically and not
symptomatically. could not possibly
have had any such fatal termination.
Coughs and colds, strange as ii may
seem, are oftentimes symptoms of trou-
bic in the kidneys.
What must be done, then, in these
cases?
It is surely unwtse to treat symp-
toms, when we can at once heal the
organ from whence the symptoms rise.
Let us then at once go to the root
of the trouble and heal the kidneys.
There is a remedy, known all the
world over, that viii strengthen them,
so that they can perform their func-
tions; feeding them and cleansing them
/ in such a marvellous manner that the
patient Immediately feels the good
work that is going on. and in a few
weeks is able to join the ranks Of the

PELVIC CATARRH
| New Name For An Old Ailment,
Known As Female Complaint.

Pelvic catarrh is q new narno for q
very common disease known as female
weakness. Most women have moro or
less what is called female complaint.
This is in reality pelvic catarrh.
There arc so many women, especially
married women, who drag themselves
wcarily around from year TO year, mis-
cradle beyond description. They nche
and tremble and throb, growing more
nervous, tired and debilitated every day
For this Glass of sufferers Pe-ru-na is
the most perfect remedy in existence.
1t relieves, it soothes, it quiets, it
strengthens, and no victim Of pelvic ca
tarrh in the land should DO without Pc
ru-na.
Mrs. A. J. Hull, Leona, Kan, writes,
