A Seemingly Common Disease

Neglect and which May Be
Readily Cured by Prompt At
tenti0n.

More than two-inirus OF the annual
death rate, physicians claim, is directly
traceable to kidney disorders.
Interested BY this remarkable asssr.
ton and desiring to acquire better un-
derstanding of the origin Of the disease.
prominent physician was recently in
terviewed as to the symptoms of such
troubles.
ITO what do you attribute the great
destructiveness of kidney disease1" was
asked.
The hold which the disease gains in
the body before the victim becomes aware
of his true condition, and the rapidity
with which it eats its way into the vital
organs"
"Would not the proverbial ounce Of
prevention check the progress of the
disease''
"There is no doubt Of it. The trouble
is that victims of this disease mistake
the symptoms for some trihing ailment
In the stomach or bowels; therefore they
do nothing to arrest the course Of the
disease until it is we'll advanced"
"What is the origin of kidneytrouble'"
almost invariably bad digestion. fol-
lowed by torpid liver and a constipated
habit"
"What are the symptoms1"
Headache, dizzy spells, sluggish
brain, restless nights, pale or sallow
ahin. bad breath, lack of appetite, heart
burn, sour belching, backache or tender
ness over the kidneys, nervous weak
ness, dark rings around the eyes, tired
feeling, too much or too little urine, and
sediment in urine"
1rs EFFEcr ON THE HEART.
"In what way is the heart affected from
kidney trouble'"
"ln all cases the heart is disturbed
though in many instances the palpita-
tion does not become alarming until the
disease has advanced to a serious point.
A severe heart throbbing and nervous
trembling is noticeable, especially after
q little bodily exercise; the victim fire.

HOW TO CURE IT.
"what is the proper course of treat
ment for kidney disease'"
First, to get rid Of uric acid and other
poisons in the system. This can be done
by stimulating the bladder and bowels
so that they will act more freely. The
suffering kidneys must be strengthened,
