lent that it is not uncommon for
child to be born afflicted with weak
kidneys.
If the child urinates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh, or If, when the
child reaches an age when it should
be able to control the passage, and 1t
is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, de-
pend upon it, the CAUSE of the dill
Guilty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment
of those important organs. This un-
pleasant trouble is due to a diseased
condition of the kidneys and bladder
and not to habit as most speople
suppose.
If the adult has rheumatism; pain
or dull ache in the back; if the water
passes in irregular quantities; or at
irregular intervals or has a bad odor;
if it stains the linen or vessel the color
of rust; if the feet swell; if there are
puffy or dark circles under the eyes;
your kidneys are the cause and need
doctoripg. Treatment of some diseas-
es may be delayed without danger,
not so with kidney disease.
