sedentary habits cause kidney troubles

Sedentary habits cause kidney troubles.
People who are obliged to sit all day long,
stenographers, telephone and telegraph
operators. seamstresses, milliners, shoe
makers, tailors, book keepers, clerks who
stand over counter, engineers, firemen,
conductors, brakemen, and Others on
steam and electric railroads, are all more
Or less affected with disease in the kid
neys. Long hours in sitting posture
cramps the kidneys, bowels and other
organs in the pelvic regions. You will
find that nearly everyone of these peo-
pie has constipation, and great many
more of them have kidney troubles and
don't know it. Often incipient Brights
disease will fasten itself upon person
and the only indication of anything
wrong that the layman can discern is a
slight aching or tired feeling across the
small of the back. This goes unheeded
because it in itself is apparently of no
great consequence. Let the knowing
physician examine the water, when these
symptoms are manifest, and he'll find a
clouded, discolored, albuminous fluid
that tells as plainly as a picture that
inside of these delicate and important or
yans there exists condition of disease
such as to need quick and powerful treat
ment in order to preserve them from decay
and save the life of the owner. Always be
onyour guard for the lightest pain or sore
ness across the back. Don't let it go I'M
needed for at that very instant your kid
neys may be in anawful condition. When
healthy they perform an important func-
tion, that Of fitering and purifying the
liquids that pass into your system. They |
10 it so carefully too that not the most |
lnfinitesimal speck of foreign or disease
breeding matter can get into the vitals
Of the body. While they are healthy,
they do more toward keeping you well
than any other organ of the whole anat-
omy. When they are impoverished and
weak, unable to stand as the barrier
against disease, it's like throwing down
The protecting walls and picket lines of a
great city and letting the enemy, unin-
walk in. Think of these prec-
ous organs becoming enfeebled through
want of nourishment Think of them
instead of being plump, vigorous, heal
by, of being thin, lifeless, almost blood
ess, eaten full of holes and secretion, a
1us that would makeyou hold your nose,
could you see it. Think of them in their
attempt to obey nature, pour

'our lungs, heart and everywhere over
he body, on account of their inability to
ject it through the proper channels and
nut of the system.
Does this appear to you as being health
I'll? Yet you, though not suspecting it,
nay be in this very position. If you {
rave arunning sore on your arm, you
would battle it carefully with warm 6
water to cleanse it, then tenderly cover S
t with some healing lotion. This much S
O protect it from the poisons in the air, |
nd to assist your internal medicines to
ct more thoroughly. Your kidneys c
iced washing as much as yourarm. You t
iced to flush out that pus and secretion C
nd assist nature to restore healthy ac-
ion. You need something known to go
irect to your kidneys through the blood {
nd that has healthy effect BLOOD
