THE BoDY'S PURIFIER.

The kidneys and liver act as
purifiers for the human body.
The blood, which is the life,
is relieved by them of all pois.
onous and effete matter, and
passes onward to energize and
vitalize the entire system.
Most important then, is it
that these organs should ade-
quately perform their proper
functions, and happily an
agent exists which, when they
become disordered, congested
and all clogged up, can restore
them quickly to their normal
healthy condition.
1t has blessed the world for
twenty-five years, and is known
as Warmers Safe Cure. Ithas
