HEALTH TALK
BY pR. VALENTINE MOTT.

All the blood in the body goee thru the
kidneys within few minutes. Therefore
the Kidneys are very important in health
or diseass because the kidneys filter out
Of the blood most Of the waste (posonous)
substances and the blood then flows on
toward the heart thru the kidney vein
What the kidney takes out Of the blood
forms urine. So it is very important to
have the water tested by a chemist, a,
least once year. would suggest thst
everybody send sample to DR. Piercc's
Laboratory in Buffalo, n. Y, and receive
report Of thorough chemical and micro
scopical test free Of charge.
