THE LAND OF WEAK KIDNEYS

IL Is admitted that Bright's Dis ease of the kidneys cause more deaths in the United States than in any other country; that more than half the sickness in America is due to weak or diseased kidneys
 We are weak-kidneyed people. and the reason is plain. Ambitious to enjoy more than mere living, to have all the pleasures that our neighbors have, anxious for wealth and success; We oyerwOrk, rest lit- tie, eat and drink unwisely, and are lon the go' all the time.
 This strenuous life of to-day teiis on the kidneys The human body was planned for simpler life There Is just so much work that each organ can do. The kidneys filter our blood day and night. re- ieiving 1t in d ceaseless stream draining of the poisonous impuri- lies. This duty is heavy enough In normal average life, but when We sork early and late, give up rest and repose for enjoyment. and re- Ire late to troubled sleep, the work of the kidneys is increased enor- .nously. Every bit of energy con sumed throws into the blood a quantity of waste like. he ashes of fire. and if the using up is too rapid the kidneys cannot keep pace with it. A cold. chill. fever, strain CT any excess may hasten the in evitable break down, and as the cir Gulation of the blood never stops, ,Ee kidneys have no time 10 rest. no

Highly Recommended Prescription
Which Any One Can Prepare at

There are more cases of kidney
while recent reports show that more

it to decOmpOSe or settle about the

suffering; frequently resulting in de-

Pains across the back frequent
painful and suppressed urinatiOn and
other symptoms of weak bladder are
not the only signs of kidney trouble;
many cases of stomach disease, head
ache. pain in the heart, inactive liver,
etc. are but symptoms; the cause of
which can be traced to feeble, clOgged
kidneys.
A simple test of the urine is to
void a small quantity in a bottle or
glass and let it stand over night; next
morning. if there is a reddish brick
dust sediment, or white f1eecy sub

reputable physician or take a good

prescription is recommended highly
in these cases, and the sufferer can
