YOUNG 84 IERR oVVVDOXIVS MADV, TO onl)1p-.I10..tiodioii,,1'tittohlitt,!8' 0.1 Every student knows that in close rea- soning parallel lines of thought are laid eown and deduotion educed. We have drawn the above visible lines simply to bring them prominently before your eye and to ask.what they represent tolkyoruallro ad man to whom we showed them said, "Ti me those four lines represent a double -track railway.'' A doctor replied to the same internee - tory, "The lines are to me the larger ar- teries and veins laying alongside each other in the human body." As every intelligent man or woman knows, the blood of edffinteeng person flows with almost • railroad speed through tlae arteries'forced by that wonderful engine, the heart. From the arteries,it is side.traoked through the capilliaries and veins, and every drop of blood goes through the kidneys for purification no less than 2500 times everytwenty-four hours. If the nar kidneys be diseased ifrftreilf of the blood containing the wornout tissues, and dele terious acids and not drawn out ore ex- creted as nature intendee, but continually passing and repass through every fiber of the systim, carrying death and decay with every phlsation. Ucless remedied the heart becomes weak ed lungs trying to do dublework brei=oVY the liver becomes congested, the stuneaCh iefuses to digest food and the result is ageneral break i down. Why? Because the kidneys, the sewers of the system, are foul and stopped up, and the entire blood becomes nothing more nor less than sewage. Now is it not climinal, nay, suicidal, to allow such a state of thinigs to continue when a simple remedy is within your reach, known for a certainty to do as represented, which will open the closed pipes of the kidneys, allow the effete matter to escape relieve the overwqrked heart' lungs and liver, cause a hea=r1rpetite, put the bloom of health in your cheek the dove of hope in your breast and the light of life in your eye? Do not allow prejudice to blind you to your best interests, but to -day procure Warner's safe cure and be put on the straight road to rude health and correot , Our parallel and closing lines to you are, take our advice and your experience will justify you in thanlcing us for bringing un- der your notice a remedy without a parallel.
