What We Have Always Said.

We are pleased to note that scientists of
reputation are coming to share the views
held by the proprietors of Warmers Safe
Cure for the past twenty years. viz: That
the kidneys are the great eliminating or
gans of the system. Nature made them
so. and man never has nor can improve
on nature. If the pOisons OF the system
are driven out nature intended. health
is assured: but if these great organs sic
overworked, sick and breaking down, al
lowing the poisonous WaSte-matter to be
retained in the system, i'll health is Ger
tain. and unless help is given death will
result.
The sensible course to pursue is to put
the kidneys in good working order by the
use OF Warmers Safe Cure-a vegetable
specific for all kidney disorders: cure
that has been put to the severest tests in
all parts of the civilized world and never
failed of doing all that was claimed for it.
1t is not physical exercise men and wo
men want, but that the great organs Of
the system exercise their natural func-
lions. and Warmers Safe Cure is the aid
needed to put them and keep them in per
feet health. a free sample of this great
remedy will be sent to any one applying
for same TO Warmers Safe Cure Co..
