passest for a person OF consequence I'm
the opinion OF some people, dlstrust
myself. No lifting up OF the eyebrows.
Be nothing In thine own eyes--ir iho,

place to all men: prefer them "a thy.

There Is no question about that
at all-for the lame and aching
back is caused by a diseased con.
dition of the kidneys and bladder.
1t is only common sense, any way
that you must cure a condition
by removing the cause Of the con-
dition. And lame and aching back
are not by any means the only
symptoms of arrangement of the
kidneys and bladder. There are a
multitude Of wcll-known and un-
mistakable Indications Of q more or
less dangerous condition. Some of
these are. for instance: Extreme
and unnatural lassitude and woari-
