Farmers here have been paying 16

AN M. D. ON
KIDNEY DISEASES
Writing on kidney disease, the medl
cal term for which Is Nephritis, Dr. J.
W. Chismond says in the "MEDICAL
irtIEF":
"In its Inclplenoy it is as curable as
any maiaay mat tne system is heir to.
IN ITS SKCONDARY STAGE WE
i-ussusB NO SPECIFIC FOR ITS
avau.uh.
Where does that leave the kidney
iucuiuuicj jou uuve oeen taKing;
And Just as we have said over and
over, It doesn t make much difference
wnat you can Kidney trouble, if it fas
tens, chyslclans and drus-a-tata
ima no successrui treatment for it.
True, it commonlv s-ata wall at r.t
but If it does not, it enters the second
mage mat was incurable up to the dis
covery of Fulton's Renal Compound,
which is ...e first thing known to re
duce Inflammation in kidney tissues.
When does the second stage com
mence? Dr Chismond says: "IT DE
VELOPS SO UNCONSCIOUSLY IT
IS AS A RULE FAR ADVANCED
BEFORE IT IS DISCOVERED."
In view of these acknowledged facts,
people with kidney trouble should do
some very serious thinking before tak
ing lunle kidney medicines under
which the kidney deaths have risen to
over iu per aay. juven If the Inflam
mation U in the first stage, a course of
futile medicine is delay that develops
the very condition that Dr. Chiamonri
says is "Irreparable," and thjt was Ir
reparable UD to the date nf Fitltnn'a
beneficent discovery.
If you have kidney trouble, either
starting or seated, how can there be
any question about your taking the
only known specific for Inflammation
of the kidneys, which, incipient or
chronic is the real difficulty with kid
ney troubled people.
