LIVING FILTERS.

The kidneys are situated in the small I of the back, one on each side of the ] spine. Human kidneys are similar in i shape to those of a sheep, but somev hat . 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 from the blood various ! waste poisons with which it becomes laden in its journey through the veins. • When a person is in good health these ,' waste poisons are dissolved in tha ■ water taken from the blood by the kidneys, and the solution is passed ; through narrow passages leading from ; each kidney into the bladder, and thence expelled froir the body. This solution . is known as urine. Some of the poisons ; contained in urine are animal matter, I such as urea and uric acid ; others are | mineral matter, being salts of lime, I magnesia, potash, and soda. j Unless the kidneys do their work i thoroughly the waste matter is incomEletely extracted from the blood, and ecomes actively poisonons, causing us | to suffer from various disorders, such at 1 rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, lumbago, ; backache, sciatica, blood disorders, anaemia, indigestion, 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 the disorders named is that it exercises a remarkable 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," noni alcoholic form, each containing the same j number of dosos.
