For great many years it has been
the customf for sick people to say: "My
blood is out of order. It needs purify
ing. feel all used up. My skin needs
clearing. Ny brain feels tired"
They are right, butdo they act right?
They generally go and get laxative
(bowel cleaner) to purify their blood.
Does their blood run through their
bowels?
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.
ALI the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys every three min
utes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the inn
purities of the blood-that is theirwork.
Purifying your blood is not ques-
ton 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 It leaces there.
There is no other way Of purifying
your blood except by means of your kid
neys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to 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
ease is, the first thing you should do is
to afford aid to your kidneys by using

Kidney. Remedy.
