A Death Every
Nine Minutes

The country is facing serious
problem and is not meeting it.
Both Census and Life insurance re-
ports show kidney disease to be in
creasing astonishingly. For instance
the seth Annual Statement Of the Mass.
Mutual Life ms. Co. shows that they
paid out for deaths due to kidney
troubles over S289, 100000 during 1907.
This report shows that as a cause Of
death among it's policy-holders it has
passed pneumonia and consumption,
and curiously enough, just as this
growing death rate seems to be most
threatening, medical textbooks admit
that old renal stimulants kidney med
icines so called) are futile in infamma-
ton of the kidneys in the chronic state.
Go to the best hospital, and it you
have chronic kidney desease you will
find the case looked upon as so hope
less that no serious effort is made to
control it, the treatment being almost
wholly dietary, with possibly a heart
stimulant and a tonic, neither of which
has the effect to control Inflammation
in the kidney tissues.
The new emollient treatment, Ful-
toms Renal Compound, came along
none too soon and is sorely needed,
for the deaths from kidney trouble
have increased under the old-time
treatment until they are now oyer one
hundred and seventy per day Zone
every nine minutes.) The deaths have
increased so much faster then the po-
pulation that it might prove nation
al menace but for this profound dis
covery. It is effective to control kid
ney disease in about 81 per cent of all
cases, but the country must wake up
to it's Importance and use it freely be-
fore any perceptible decrease in the
deaths will be noticed.
One editor who recovered was SO i'm
pressed with the Importance of the
emollient that he suggested that Con-
gress make an appropriation and pur-
chase the formula and give it to the
people. That hope is not likely to be
re allied. but individuals are here and
there all over the country taking adj
vantage and recovering and the light
is gradually spreading.
This Wonderful Kidney Remedy,
Fulton's Renal Compound, is for sale
in New Ulm only by
Eugene A. Pfefferle,
The Reliable Druggist.
