Pain in the back is an almost infallib1o sign of kidney disease; surer sign is the condition of your urine. If you have a pain in the back, then look to the con- dition of your urine. It is easily done. Take a glass or tu1nbler and fill it with urine; after it has stood A hours, if it has a sediment, if 1t is milky or cloudy, if it is pale or discolored, stringy or ropy, your kidneys and bladder are in dan gerous condition and need immediate at- tention, or the consequences may prove fatal. Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is the ono medicine that really cures all diseases of the kidneys, liver, bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspep- sia and chronic constipation, and it will take you but short trial to convince yourself of it's wonderful curative power.
