often the only outward sign that Ma
ture gives of serious trouble in the kid

diabetes, or Bright's disease.
Yet this neglect of backache is very
common. Many people think the pain q
simple muscular trouble They do not
seem TO know that backache is the most
common symptom of kidney complaint.
The kidneys (hlters of the blood lie
just beneath the small OF the back, on
either side of the spine. As soon as
there is any inflammation or congestion
in the kidneys. you notice a feeling of
uneasiness in the back. then that dull,
throbbing pain, changing TO sharp
twinges when any sudden strain is
brought upon the back. 1t is hard to
