There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-

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
