An Important Function Stimulated.

The kidneys exercise most important functions, which are so wearisome that they tax to the utmost the strength and endurance of these busy little organs. Every breath, every pulsation of the heart, every movement of a limb, every thought, makes waste and necessitates the development of new atoms. The used up particles in the blood are sifted from it and dissolved in a watery fluid by the kidneys, which then discharge their fluid into the bladder. A train of disasters to the system would follow if these “ashes," so to speak, were not thoroughly strained off and discharged. This is the case when the kidneys become inactive. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, by restoring their activity, not only keeps open a most important outlet for impurities, but prevents diseases of the kidneys themselves, whicn, when inert, become liable to fall a prey to diabetes, Bright’s disease, mephitis, albu-menuria, and other maladies specially incident to them, whioh, although not specially rapid in the*r progression, are particularly obstinate and fatal.
