Science proves that all the purifying
that your blood needs, in fact all that
can be done, must be done by your
KIDNEYS. The KIDNEYS are filters.
They strain and purify your blood.
When your blood is impure nothing
can purify but your KIDNEYS. When
the KIDNEYS are clogged from over
work of any kind, worry, exposure or
excesses, they can be set right by that
wonderful new remedy known as IRV-

are not patent medicine or secret

furnished to the numerous physicians
who prescribe them in their practice,

ries, Asparagus, and other valuable
and purely vegetable extracts, which
are so concentrated as to make them
more than double their value.

Come!--be the guest OF

this winter. Leave the chilly north
behind you, and find health and
pleasure under the stainless splen-
dor of her turquoise sky.
To all newcomers, San Antonio
offers a thousand delightful sur
prises. For the sight-seer the old
Mission Churches are still here,
the Cathedral of San Fernando, and
gray and ghostly in the dazzling
sunlight, the historic Alamo. For
the Invalid a perfect combination
Of sunny winter weather, pure, dry
air, beautiful scenery and modern
accommodations.

The Climates the thing in
San Antonio.

The invigorating air, dry and
warm; the altitude; the perfect
natural drainag., all combine to
make the temperature as nearly
perfect as can be. 1t is possible to
spend most Of each day, from No.
vember to March, outdoors. The
parks and plazas. the margins Of
the creeks and rivers, the groves
of palm and magnolia, lose nothing
Of their lustrous green during tht
winter months.
San Antonio is, of all America
the oldest blending of modern util
ity and beauty, with the romance
and heroism of the medieval.

have been entirely with out school
