drive the grip out of the system and
naturally. being overwoi ked, they are
weakened and become an easy prey for
disease.
"when these delicate but most impor-
tant organs are attacked in their weak

grip from the system without help-good

you ask, where can such assistance he
secured? The question is not an easy
one. Many things will help the kidneys,
