When we recall the Offices of the Kidneys, -
that of removing the WORKOUT tssue-clcmcnts
from the blood, it Is easy 10 understand how
they may become diseased. Acrid and acid con-
dtions OF the blood are very liable to be attended
with Kidney disorders. These sources Of irrlta-
ton may lead to various forms Of Kidney mala-
dies as Dropsy, Diabetes, Brights Disease. in
which albuncn. or the element of our food which
corresponds with the white of an egg, Is carried

mntrlv death. We all know how intractable

tone Ia the Kidneys, build up the blood, destroy
Its actid character, and cure the various maladics
from which these organs suffer. our attention
