WHAT IS BRiGHT's DlsEAsE2

Bright's disease is catarrh of the kid
neys.
Catarrh OF the kidneys may arise
from the spread of catarrh from other
organs. or it may arise from some irri-
tation of the kidneys directly in the or
sgans themselves.
In either case. the kidneys cease TO
eliminate the urea poisOns from the
blood and allow the escape OF nutritious
serum.
This leads TO the presence OF albu-
men in the urine and a rapid decline OF
the health and strength.
Peruna cures eatarrh of the kidneys,
when all of these symptoms disappear.
