STARTED WITH A COLD"
So Says One Of the Greatest Of Americas
Physicians and He Prove. What He Says.

"It fs surprising what mistakes even some Of
the best people in the world make"
The speaker was one Of the greatest doctors
the world has ever known. and he resides in
New-York
Take for example one OF the most common
things In the world. namely cold. People
speak OF taking cold there is really no such
thing
"a cold is a symptom-an effect, not cause.
Did YOU ever know an absolutely wen ana
healthy person who took cold? I never have.
even under the greatest exposure. Yes, indeed.
a cold is a symptom. not a cause
The gentlemen and ladies' to whom the doctor
was speaking exchanged looks OF establishment
but they did not dispute words OF the learned
doctor.
You may be surprised" he continued whsn
7 tell YOU that nineterths OF all colds occur be-
cause those great organs OF the body the KID
neys, are out OF order.
More men and women are troubled with I'M
nerfect kidneys than with any other known
form of G.5ease. The unfortunate thing about
II is that they do not know that this is their
trouble
"Uhv? Because all difficulties. arrangements
and diseases Of the kidneys which come to both
men and women are usually without any pain:
IN fact. without any symptoms whatever. and
this proves just what said at FIRST namely
that cold is a symptom.
There was a look OF amazement upon the
faces OF his hearers.
Indeed" continued the DOCTOR most deiioef-
etelv and earnestly. II assert that the rip

Now there is but one great discovery Tor the
prevention and cure of all idney diiiieuities-
that grand remedy, Warmers Safe Cure. no
class of people know realize this better than
the medical profession, and no class is more
ready to acknowledge II.
