the rest of us, though perhaps with
greater sorrows and greater temp

risen above such things: they have

than a fair share of the aches and
pains that af1ict humanity: they must
keep up" must attend to duties in
spite of constantly aching backs, or
headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down
pains; they must stoop over, when
to stoop means torture. They
must walk and bend and work with
racking pains and many aches from
kidney ills. Kidneys cause more
suffering than any other organ of the
body. Keep the kidneys we'll and
health is easily maintained. Read of
a remedy for kidneys only that helps
and cures the kidneys and is endorsed
