HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill hottie OF common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty-four hours; sed-
iment or settling indicates diseased con-
dition of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence OF kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or
pain in the back are also convincing proofs
that the kidneys and bladder are out of
order.
