No matter how strongly Liver and Kidney Trouble and Bright's Disease may entrench themselves in the system, Warner's Safr- Cure opens the door to health. Warner's Safe Cure irares Kidney Disease because if has a specific tonic and a'terative effect directly upon the tissues, fibres, and uell» which go to make up the kidney substance, it acting &b a constitutional kidney tonic. It removes congestion and inflammation, changes abnormal action into that of health. No matter whether the disease ia acute or chronic, whether it is a well-advanced Bright's Disease or the common kidney malady, Warner's S^fe Cure does as repre sented. Do not neglect the first warning symptom of Kidney Disease. Procure at once Warner's Safe Cure and Warner's Safe Pills, use according to the directions found upon the labels, and you will not fail to overcome the disease and secure immunity, not only from Kidney Disease, but from mffliy mafadies which are recognised a? secondary to it. It is wise to prevent diaoftie, »nd this Waraer't Safe Cure does.
