WARNER’S SAFE CURE F£ c k a nattmal product of our bodice, the result of tissue changes and a mea t diet. Like the sewage of cities it is contaminating. It is the work of the kidneys to eliminate this poison from the system as rapidly as formed. When, however, the kidneys have become weakened or diseased there is an accumulation of uric acid that poisons the blood. In coursing through the body the uric acid settles in the joints and causes articular-joint-rheumatism; it attacks the lower part of the back and produces lumbago: it affecta the delicate membrane covering the sciatic nerve and the result is sciatica-they are all rheumatism. Uric acid is the father of all rheumatism no matter where located or by what name it mav be called JOHN 8. WILSON, 43 BchuytarS. AlbanV, N.
