Killed by Poisons

All scientists agree that poisonous
prodnets in the blood are eliminated by
the kidneys and liver. The kidneys act
as kind of filter for these products.
When the kidneys are changed or de-
generated, by disease or old age, then
these poisons are retained in the body.
II we wish 10 prevent old age coming
on too soon, or If we want to increase
our chances for long life, DR.. Pierce of
the Inyaiids' Hotel, Buffalo, n. Y, says
that you should drink plenty OF water
daily between meals to flush the kidneys.

A NAN DEAD.

The declaration was followed by
a silence Of some length. The sec

and the Peruvian attache had fol
lowed the conversation with eager
interest. Major d'Astrignac
nodded his head with an air Of an
proval. To his mind, Perenna
could not be mistaken.
