"1 roULf) MOVE THE WORLD
If I had something to rest lav lever on," said
Archimedes. Large bodies move or are moved
slowly. But it is no impossible or even diffi-
cult task to reuder those small bodies, the kid-
neys, active when they are not so. Don t try to
do this with unmedicated alcoholic stimulants.
The experiment is unsafe. The sure, safe
means i» Ho*tetter's Stomach Bitters, which
affords just the right amount of stimulus with-
out overdoing the matier. Continued inactiv-
ity of either the kidneys or bladder, it should
never be lost night of, are attended with grave
peril. Bright sdisease, diabetes and other ail-
meuts which affect the renal organs, have
their origin in inaetiou of the kidneys. To
overcome tnis i* an easy matter at the outset.
Not so later Now is the appointed time in a
ease of this sort Irregularity of the bowels,
stomach and liver, rheumatism and malaria
are remedied by the Bitters.
