dead-tired feelins-freedom from those
stabbing, darting pains:
This Is the condition that so often
comes at middle age. bringing with It
an extreme nervo usness and irritabil-
ity that makes others think you
"cranky' and hard to get along with"
Likely your kidneys are worn and
tired and need help. In any machine

With healthy kidneys. one has
good chance TO live long, but weak
kidneys afflict old age with great dis
