QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. I have been feeling very poorly lately, and have just been told by my, doctor that I ain suffering from urfa poisoning. I shall be glad if you will tell me just what uric poisoning means. Is it a serious matter ?

A. Urio poisoning is caused by the re* tention in the biuod of various sub* stances which should leave the body iu solution. The retention of these sub* stances is due to a diseased or inactive condition of the kidneys. When the kidneys are working periectly, they, filter and extract from the blood of the average indivniuai a Poll - three pints p* urine every -day. in urns quantity os urine should be dissojVed various wash* ■material produoeu by tine wear ant} tear of the tissues of the body. This is dead matter, a.d its presence in the blood is poisonous. ine three pints of normal urine shornd contain about ten grains in weigiit of uric acid, an ounce of urea, toge.hhr with other animal and mineral matter varying from- a third of an ounce to nearly an ounce. - v

Q. Then I am to understand tha% the su'bstanoes you mention when no# eliminated from the boay in the natural manner constitute what, is known an urio poisoning. What are the usual symptoms by which the presence ei these poisons is manifested? A. Now you are asking a rather large question. Many complaints which, am commonly called diseases are not actii* ally diseases in themselves. For instance Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia. Lumbago, Sciatica, \Gravel, Stone an<f Bladder Troubles are all caused by uri# poisons. Indigestion, Anaemia, Persistent Headache, and General Debility are often sole.y due to the same cause. In fact, if the kianeys are doing their work freely and ill roughly, none df the complaints mentioned could trouble us as the causative persons would be absent.' • ■ • - >

Q. I had no idea that so much depended upon the efficient action of the kidneys. I suppose' that when anyone is suffering from Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia, Lumbago, sciatica, Gravel, Stone, Bladder Anaemia, Debility, Persistent j_i.e.i<xacne. or Indigestion, the scientine method of effecting a cure would be to directly treat th# patient for the kidneys ? A.' Exactly. In fact, that is th# only way in which a radical and manent cure can. be eftec-ed. The kidneys must be res-ored to health andl activity, so that they n may be enabled to remove the ;- uai y production oi poisons in the body, or the patient must continue to suffer. j -

Q. I hare always beexi under th* impression that -he liver had a great deal to do -with the ununeenanoe of our general health, bu_ iu seems that the kidneys are the enief cause of mbisfc of the disorders from wlnon we suffer. A. The work done by i-he liver is of the utmost importance and it is closely associated with the work - done by the kidneys. Indeed, when anything is the matter with the dive, the kidneys ard almost always direcuy auected, and th« contrary is likewise true. In the live® various substances are actually mad.® from the blood. Two or three pou #s of bile are thus made every day. Tho liver takes sugar from the blood, converts it into another form, and store# it up so as to be abie again - to supply it to the blood, gradually, as the latter, requires enrichment. The liver change* urio acid, which is insoluble, into urea which is completely soluble, and the liver also deals with the biood -corpuscles which have lived their life and ar® useful no longer. 0* As the functions of the kidney* and liver are so intimately related, 1 gather that if there is reason to suspect that either organ' is not doing it» work efficiently, a curative agent should be employed which, would act equally, upon the kidneys and liver? A. Yes, that is the case, and it wa» the realisation of tins important fact which led to the discovery of that invaluable medicine Earner's Safe Cure. About thirty years ago, certain medical men, knowing that if they could find a medicine which would benefically affect alike the kidneys and liver, they could control most of the common disorders, devoted themselves to the search for such a remedy. After many disappointments, their efforts were rewarded, and a medicine now known as Warner’s Safe Cure was proved t® possess the required properties in the fullest degree. Warner’s Safe Cure has a marvellously stimulating and healing effect upon both the kidney* and liver, and by restoring those vitai organs to health and activity, it necessarily cures all disorders due to th® retention in the blood of urinary and biliary poisons, such as Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Sciatica, Blood Disorders, Anaemia, ‘lndigestion, Biliousness, Jaundice, Gravel, Stone, Bladder Troubles, General Debility, ana Sick Headache. Even Bright’s Disease, probably the most fatal of all diseases, yields to treatment by Warner’s Safe Cure. Cures effected by Warner’s Saf® Cure are permanent simply because they are natural. --
