only certain way to cure these troubles is by
treating the organs which cause them. How
intimately the kidneys are associated with the
entire system may be understood from the fact
that over 1000 ounces of blood pass through
them every hour, or nearly one ton in the
course of twenty four hours. This vast mas;
