WHEN YOUR BACK ACHES

A bad back turns every twenty-four
hours into one dull round of pain and
misery-you are lame in the morning,
nagged all day by a dull, throbbing
backache. can't rest in the evening or
sleep well at night. 1t hurts to bend
over, straighten up, get up from
chair, or lift even light weight. Any
sudden twist, turn or awkward move
ment sends a tearing twinge of pain
through the weak spot.
Backache is really kidney-ache. The
kidneys are in the small of the back,
and any pain there is enough cause to
suspect your kidneys. If the urine is
discolored, contains sandy sediment, or
passes too frequently, then you have
double proof.
Keep the kidneys well and the kid
neys will keep you we'll. Well kidneys
filter the blood and keep it pure Dis
eased kidneys only partly purify the
blood. Neglect weak kidneys and you
invite uric acid poisoning, gravel, stone
in the kidney, rheumatism, heat trou-
BILE, diabetes Bright's- disease. and a
long list of other serious disorders now
recognized as having their cause in
kidney weakness.
At the first sign OF backache or ur-
mary disorders, give the kidneys quick
help, not with plasters. liniments, nor
