Dolor de e'palda y d6cultad al
orinar son sehales de pelisro y de que
los rihones estGn tupidos y conge'-
tiOnados, que el sistems Sc ests lie
nando con acido lrico y otros residuo'
venenosos que debian haber sido pasa-
dos en- Ia orina.
Los rihones en- esndo saludable
6ltran de Ia sangre todos los dias mae
de una onza de veneno. Pero cuando
los rihones estan enfermos este proceso
de 6ltraci6n es retardado 6 suspendido
de un todo. Asi es que el cuerpo no
puede nunca estar bien cuando los
rifones estan enfermos, y es debido
que mucha gente descuida los riro-
mes enfermos que las enfermedades de
los rihones causan mas muertes que
ninguna ora dolencia humana. \
Es facil curar cualquier forma de
NAL de los rihones con las Pildoras de
Foster antes que Ia enfermedad llegue
un estado avaRzado, habiendo varios
sintomas que mani6estan cuando ocur-
rem des0rdenes en- los rifiones.

MI PATRIA

Mi patria pobre, cautiva
del mar que sus costas bate;
garza doruida entire brumas
como Ell lecho de azahares:
humilde mas que el cordero,,
inocente mas que el ave,
nunca sinti6 en- sus entrahas
el furor de los volcanes,
nj oy6 el grito de las 6eras
en- Sus selvas seculares;
nj contempl6 en- sus collados
ell himno de los combates;
nj el somaten en- sus villas,
nj el tumulto en- sus ciudades.
Mi patria, la noble esclava,
no pudo romper su carcel
porque faltan, vive Cristo,
mucho fuego en- sus hogares,
mucho espacio en- sus campifas;
porque no hay hero en- su montes,
porque no hay plomo en- sus wales;
bo'Yue en- sns tGmbos no hay bMt6los,.
porq~e en- sus venas no hay samgre.
