A Red
is the 22d of February,
WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY and it is right
and just that it is so. Since the day when Washington
first saw the light what a number of red letter days brighten
the calendar of the years. Hundreds of inventions and discoveries
now annihilate space, lighten toil, deaden pain and lengthen life.
Among the great discoveries of the nineteenth century none stand out
more prominent than that of Warner's Safe Cure, a vegetable prepara
tion for the cure of that terribly insidious disease Bright's disease of
the kidneys. The disease was first named by Dr. Bright of England.
It had been known previous to his time as dropsy, and death certifi
cates were given, and are given today, by reputable physicians, for
dropsy, heart disease, heart failure, convulsions, etc., instead of Bright's
disease.
Dropsy, heart failure, convulsions, etc., are but
symptoms of Bright's disease, a disease before which physicians
stand aghast.
Bright's disease and consumption do not kill at
once. There are first, second and third stages. The time to treat
these terrible diseases is at their inception. Bright's disease is con
sumption of the kidneys and no man or woman can live without kid
neys any more than they can without lungs.
The kidneys have few nerves of sensation,
hence Bright's disease cannot be detected except by its symptoms or
a microscopical examination of the fluids of the body. Prominent
among the symptoms are fickle appetite, failure of eyesight, nervous
ness, fiequent desire to pass fluids, constipation, chronic rheumatic
pains, gradual failure of strength, 'pallor of face, swelling of the ankles,
shoitness of breath, chills, fever, scanty, high colored fluids, etc. A
person may not have all of the symptoms, but one of them continued
for any length of time is a warning that the kidneys are not doing the
work- nature intended them to do and that the body through that fail
ure is surely becoming poisoned by the deadly acids which ought to
be eliminated.
Warner's Safe Cure is a specific for kidney
disease when taken in time and according to directions. It will not
work miracles but it will do all that human agency can accomplish.
It is the part of wisdom to get rid of kidney
disease and to begin
