WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
 IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp- toms is the Prime Cause of 80 Many Deaths from the Dreaded
 Bright's Disease.
It Is Easily Durable fin the Early Stages.

Kidney diseases are so destructive to human life because they do not manifest alarming symptoms until the constitu- ton is seriously weakened and the strength exhausted. Then, too often, the remedies employed by many physi- clans are of indifferent or doubtful value, and the patient rapidly sinks under the disease. The wisest course is to apply reliable kidney and liver remedy on the first abpsGranee of the symptoms. A little uneasiness in the small of the back, digestive troubles, bowel irregularities and disorder in the urinary organs are matters of small moment in the estima- tion of strong men and women, yet they are fraught with potent meaning. They show clearly that the kidneys are suffer- ing and need help, which must be forth coming at once to prevent serious, per- haps fatal consequences. A few doses of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would prove of incalculable value in restoring the weakened organs to health. An investment of one dollar in a bottle of Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is yet incipient will save hundreds in doctors bills, and immeasurable suffer- ing that would surely follow should the disease be allowed to fasten itself in the body. The excellent curative power of PEickly Ash Bitters is not confined to the first stages of kidney disease. It is equally eficacious in severe or chronic cases. Physicians have used it as last resort Gin cases that defed their best eforts) with the most brilliant results, and it has shown its superiority over the many so-called kidney cures, now being loudly advertised, in instances iunu. merable.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having
 .he genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
 large nsure in red on the front label
 SO'd at Drug Stores, Ss.OO per bottle
