What The Kidneys Do.
Their Uncedsing Work Keeps Us
strong and Healthy


All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about
500 grams Of imp ure matter daily.
when unhealthy some part of this
impure matter is left in the blood.
This brings on many diseases and
symptoms--pain in the back, head
ache. nervousness, hot. dry skin,
rheumatism, govt, gravel. disorders
OF the eyesight and hearing. dizzi-
ness, irregular heart debility,
drowsiness, drcpsy. deposits in the
urine, etc. But If you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.
