Men and women doctor their troubles
so often without benefit. that they get
discouraged and skeptical. In most
such cases serious mistakes are made
in doctoring and in not knowing what
our trouble is or what makes US sick
The unmistakable evidences of kidney
trouble are pain or duh ache in the
back, too frequent desire to pass water,
scanty supply, smarting irritation As
kidney disease advances the face looks
saflow or pale, puffs or dark circles un-
der the eyes, the feet swell and some
times the heart acts badly. Should fur
ther evidence be needed to find out the
cause of sickness, then set urine aside

of his death is the fact that his wife is
