The apaplilng death rate from kid

the fact that the little kidney troub-

give place to chronic disorders and
the sufferer goes gradually into the

Disease, gravel or some other serious
form of kidney complaint.

cretions are irregular of passage and

In spite of the fact that the word

it will not be fair for many to lay
the blame on the cook If they begin
the Christmas dinner with little ap-

nausea. 1t may not be fair for any
to do that-let us hope so for the

1t isn't so difficult, says DR.. Shoop,
to strengthen a weak Stomach, Heart

trolling or inside nerve. When these
nerves fail, then those organs must
