The most important organs in the
human body are the kidneys.
They remove all the waste and poison
from the system. They are the natural
filters OF the body, and just as sure as
water Is purer and clearer after 1t has
passed through a filter, so is the human
system purer. so is the blood richer and
more rosy when the kidneys are prop
6rly performing their functions. You
may feel as though you have no kidd
ney or bladder trouble. 1t is best to
be on the safe side. Find out whistler
your father or mother had kidney
trouble, and II so be on your guard, for
no disease follows from generation to
generation like kidney disease.
When your kidneys are not doing
their work. some OF the symptoms
which prove It to you are pain or dull
ache in the back. plenty OF ambition,
but no strength, sediment in the urine
after standing twenty-four hours,
scanty supply with scalding irritation
IN passing It, may be obliged to go
often during the day and to get up
many times during the night. Catarrh
Of the bladder, gravel, excess OF uric
acid, you may feel as though you have
heart trouble. Rheumatism. bloatlng,
dark circles under the eyes. weak stom-
ach, Door digestion are unmistakable
evidence that your kidneys need tmme-
diate attention.
