Mr.. Harley Feels Very Grateful That Tie Was
Saved When on the Brink of the Grave.

In France, man sentenced to death
is not told in advance on what day he is
to die. The first information he gets
is from the officers who prepare him
for the guillotine Between sentence
and execution the prisoners life is full
of terrors, for any football outside his
cell may herald the messenger of death.
So free and honest men suffer agonies
of imagination when they learn that
they have diseased kidneys. They may
live for years. They may die before
another sunset Kidney trouble is more
deadly than consumption if neglected or
improperly treated. 1t is a great mercy
that one sure remedy exists.
Herbert Harley, dealer in shoes at
Twentieth and Pine streets, Philadel-
phia, says:
Il suffered for years with chronic kid
ney trouble and tried many remedies
and doctors. About year ago | had
an extremely serious attack. l could
not attend to business and my family
was much alarmed. Ny back was so
lame l could not stand erect. had high
fever and night sweats, and the pain
in my back made it impossible to secure
a good nights rest.
THE doctor said | had too much acid
in my blood, which caused neuralgia con-
ditions. 1t makes a man pretty blue to
be always ailing. and one who has a
store finds sickness an expensive luxury.
Zone day my daughter brought me a
well known remedy and urged me to
take it. A friend had recommended it
so highly she was sure it would do me
good / didn't have much confidence in
it. for | had tried SO many things that
l had little faith left in anything. Its
action, however, was a pleasant surprise.
1t seemed to take right hold and
the bladder and kidneys, and
made me feel better before the end of
the week. 1t just braced me like a tonic,
and | feel | owe my life to Warmers
Safe Cure which was the remedy l
used"
The doctor was right. Mr.. Harloy's
blood was charged with uric acid,
malignant poison. When the kidneys are
sound they draw it from the blood.
When they are unsound the acid re-
mains, to shatter the nerves. to weaken
the heart and to dull the brain. 1t is
needless. and, to many readers, it would
be painful to tell in detail the terrible
progress of kidney diseases.
Warmers Safe Cure, which drives
them out of the body is within the reach
of all.
