Simplicity of Food.

A "sick headache" is often caused
by eating too much and too often rich
food, and taking too little exercise.
Substitute a simple, plain meal and a
dessert of fruit for too much meat and
too many rich dishes, and earn what
you eat "by the sweat of your brow"

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs. or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.
