DEADLY KIDNEY DISEASE.
The Only Way to Avoid The Great
Destroyer.
Once clear to the individual that
idney disease is a result of uric acid
and oxaliate of lime, which have their
place in the human system, harden-
ing and forming into stone-like sub-
stances, and the folly of treating such
a disease with any medicine other than
a liquid and one that will dissolve these
solids, there will be little trifling with
pills, powders and remedies of this
character, which can not possible ef-
fect a permanet cure. The success of
South American Kidney Cure is due
to the fact that as a liquid it im-
mediately reaches the diseased part,
nd dissolves these alkalies aud hard
bstances. It never fails. Sold by
LUTz.
