THE LAND OF WEAK KIDNEYS


It Is admitted that Bright's Disease
OF the kidneys causes more deaths in
the United States than in any other
country; that more than half the sick
ness in America is due to weak or dis
eased kidneys.
We are a -kidneyed people,
and the reason is plain. Ambitious
to enjoy more than. a mere living, to
have all the pleasures that our neigh
bors have, anxious for wealth and
success; we overwork, rest little, eat
and drink unwisely, and are ION the
go" all the time.
This strenuous life of today tells on
the kidneys. The human body was
planned for a simpler life. There is
just so much work that each organ
can do. The kidneys filter our blood
day and night. receiving it in a cease
less stream, draining off the poisonous
impurities. This duty is heavy enough
in a normal average life, but when we
work early and late, give up rest and
repose for enjoyment. and retire late
to troubled sleep, the work of the kid
neys is increased enormously. Every
bit of energy consumed throws into
the blood a quantity of waste like the
ashes of a fire, and If the using up is
too rapid, the kidneys cannot keep
pace with it. A cold. chill, fever,
strain or any excess may hasten the
inevitable breakdown, and as the cir
culation Of the blood never stops. the
kidneys have no time to rest. no chance to
mend. Sick kidneys cannot get well alone
