LIVING FILTERS.

The kidneys are situated in tlu> small of the back. one (ui each side of the spine. Human kidneys are similar in shape to those of a sheep, but somewhat larger. They are encased in fat. and are supplied with arteries which convey blood to them from the heart. By a process akin to filtering. the kidneys take any excess of water from the blood, and they also extract front the blood various waste poisons with which it becomes laden in its journey through the veins. When a person is in wind health these waste poisons are dissolved in the water taken from the blood by the kidneys, and the solution is passed through narrow passages leading fiom each kidney into the bladder, and thence expelled from the b"dy. This solution is known as urine. Some of the poisons contained in urine are animal matter, such as urea and uric acid : others are mineral matter, being salts of lime, magnesia, potash and soda.

Unless the kidneys do their work thoroughly the waste matter is incompletely extracted from the blood, and becomes actively poisonous, causing ns to suffer from various disorders, such as rheumatism. gout, neuralgia. lumbago, backache, sciatica, blood disorders, anaemia, indigos tiori, gravel, stone, and bladder troubles. The importance of maintaining a healthy action of the kidneys cannot be exaggerated. The sole reason Warner’s Safe Cure is so efficacious in overcoming (lie disorders named is that it exercises a remark"ble healing action upon the kidneys. Warner’s Safe Cure can be obtained from any chemist or storekeeper, both in the original form and the cheaper “Concentrated,’’ non-alcoholic form, each containing the same number of doses. d
