PEOPLE’S MISTAKES.

u lt is surprising what mistakes even some of the best people in the world make.” The speaker was one of the greatest doctors the world has ever known. “ Take, for example, one of the most common things in the world, namely, a cold. People speak of ‘ taking cold there is really no such thing. A cold is a symptom, an effect, not a cause. Did you . ever know an absolutely well and healthy person who took cold 1 I never have, even under the greatest exposure. Yes, indeed, a cold is a symptom, not a cause,” The gentlemen and ladies, to whom the doctor was speaking exchanged looks of astonishment but they did not dispute the words of the learned man. “ You may be surprised,” he continued, « when I teil you that nine-tenths of all colds occur because those great organs of the body, the kidneys, are out of order. More men and women are troubled with imperfect kidneys than with any other known form of disease. The unfortunate thing about it is that they do not know that this is their trouble. Why? Because all difficulties, derangements, and diseases of the kidneys are usually without any pain, in fact, without any symptoms whatever, and this proves just what I said at first, namely, that 1 a cold is a symptom.’ ” The looks of amazement which were upon the faces of his hearers remained, while the doctor continued: “ What I say is true. If you have a cold in the head, a cough, pain in the muscles or joints, if you sneeze or wheeze, do not try to doctor these symptoms, but go at once to their cause, which is invariably the kidneys. Use the best discovery of modern times for these organs, which is Warner’s Safb Cure. Put your kidneys in proper conditions and any cold, however bad it may bo, will disappear as if by magic. Indeed,” continued the doctor, most deliberately and earnestly, “ I assert that the grip, which has been so ■ disastrous, which has brought so much trouble into the world, would never have had its run if the kidneys of those who had suffered from it had been in perfect condition. These great' organs, if unclogged, would have thrown the disease from the system so that the grip would have been unknown.” The doctor’s words, startling as they may seem, were true, and the remedy of which he spoke the only one known to the world for regulating the kidneys. No class of people know or realize this better than the medical profession, but & thousands of men and women have learned it to their own great advantage.
