You don't get up in the morning feeling
like doing good days work if your
kidneys are out of order.
Your back is lame and sore and aches
and your sleep has not been refreshing.
Failure of the kidneys properly to per-
form their functions often makes a fall
ure Of life itself-it weakens all the
energies.

and safest substances for invigcratins
and toning the kidneys. 1t was taken

writes: Il had kidney trouble and took
medicine for it without benefit until
began taking Hoods SarsapariIla. The
swelling in my feet and limbs then be-
gan to go down and 1 am now able to
