states that for twenty-five years his

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;
sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
