Nature has provided Il certain amount

body; overtaX them and disease eventu-

lion of our O ganism that is so overworked
IS the kidneys; on them is placed the inn
pOrtant function of liltering the blood Of
the impurities which naturally form in the
regular action of life and digestion. The
Lidneys are consequently termed the sew
srage of the system; clog up this sewer,
and the blood becomes tainted with poison
Gus uric acid. which brings on disease
in many forms. The back is the first to
show this stoppage From there comes
the warning note it should be needed,
