THE ORDER OF THE BATH.
This distinguished Order owes its origin to certain knights, who, contrary to the prevailing custom of the time, made it a rule to wash tliemselves with more or less regularity. These knights kept themselves apart from knights who objected to wash. Later on, persons, other than knights, who paid attention to the cleanliness of their persons, were admitted as "companions." The custom of purification led to this company of knights and companions being made into a religious order in ; the Teign of Henry IV. I At the present time most of us are care- | fill in looking after our outward cleanliness, but a large number of people are indifferent to, or ignorant of, the fact that equal care is necessary to be given to inward cleanliness. There are two organs of the body, the kidneys and the liver, whose duty it is to extract from the btood waste matter known as urinary and biliary sonsTo the presence of these urinary and biliary poisons in the system are due such disorders as Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Backache, Sciatica, Boils, Anemia, Indigestion, Biliousness, Sick-head-ache, General Debility, Gravel, Bladder Troubles, and Blight's Disease. The reason that Warner's Safe Oure cures all these disorders is that it restores the kidneys»and liver to vigorous health, when a'f ills, produced by such poisons are overcome by the expulsion of the poisons in a natural manner. 283
