n its advanced stagos—Tho Roe- son Why—Dangeor Prevented by tho Timely Use of Dr. A. W. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills.

To understand Bright s Disease 1s to know that in its advanced stages it 1s past the reach of human aid. The celis* of the kidneys undergo a wasting change, which leaves them dead so far as performing their functions is concerned. Just think of having the kidneys dead. Think ofthe poisons left ia the system when these organs could no longer periorm their duties as filters of the blood. :

It would be difficult to conceive of anything more dreadful, and yet this is the goal to which every case of neglected kidney disease must lead.

When the back aches, when urinating 1s difficult or too frequent, when there are de- posits in the urine after standing for 24 hours, there is no time to lose in procuring Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. ae

It is not claimed that they will cure Bright's Disease in its last stages. They are an abso- lute cure for kidney disease, and so long as the kidnevs are not entirely wasted away they will give new strength and vigor and. enable therm to resume their duties of filtering the blood.

Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills will stop
