Deaths from kidney disease have frightfully increased = now nearly so,000 a year
 If this is to be changed people should know
 1. That kidney trouble is IN ELIMINATION OF THE KIDNEYS and that when it becomes chronic it is declared incurable.
 2. Prof. Tyson says the incurable stage is established about the sixth months ought to be wasted.
 5. Treatment of inf1amed kidneys by excitants has broken down-Prof, Tyson declaring (with reference to agents to restore the normal condition of the kidneys), tI believe there are none," which cuts out at one sweep all the kidney medicines on druggists shelves
 4. That these conditions gave rise to a search for something to ipalliate instead of excite inf1amed kidneys.
 5. That as the result of those re- searches a bland infusion was work ed out that reduces unframed kidney tissues and that a majority of cases now yield whether in the chronic stage or not.
 Hence, there is only one agent that dares claim in print to cure chronic kidney disease.
