.BRIGHTS DISEASE

We submit the following as our
ideas Of the probabilities under Full
tons Renal Compound in Bright's and
kidney disease:
Where patients are seriously weak
ened and crises are expected, probably
not more than ten TO twenty per cent
respond. Where physicians aid by
holding up the heart. increasing the
eliminationS, etc. the efficiency can
be increased. In cases where patients
have from thirty TO sixty days Of life
We look for correspondingly better re,
suits.
Where patients do not wait until
bedridden and take the treatment on
the appearance Of the disease II IS our
belief that most cases respond with
final recovery or prOlOngation Of life.
Albumen. casts" and drOpsy do not
prevent recovery, provided the renal
! inflammation Is attacked before the
| heart and recuperative powers are too
greatly weakened
Fulton's Renal Compound IS used

Compound being TO relax the kidney

used for school purposes alone utilizes
but thirty.nine per cent. Of the time
which could be given to the needs OF

Of more than $780, 900, 900 every year.
An active movement Is now taking
place to turn school property during
the summer months into children's
Fairgrounds and places Of amusement
and to make them the center of recre-
