THE LAND OF. WEAK KIDNEYS

1t is admitted that Bright's Disease
Sof the kidneys causes more deaths in
the United States than In any other
country; that more than half the sick
ness In America Is due to weak or dis
eased Kidneys.
We are a weak-kidneyed people. and
the reason Is plain. Ambition to en-
Joy moro than a mere living, to have
all the pleasures that our nefghbors
have, anxious for wealth and success,
we overwork. rest little, eat and drink
unw!sely, and are con the co. all the
time.
This strenuous life Of TODAY tells on
the kidneys. The human body was
planned for a simpler life. There is
Just so much work that each organ
can do. The kidneys filter our blood
day and night, receiving it in a cease
less stream, draining off the poisonous
impurities. This duty is heavy enough
in normal average life, but when we
work early and late, give up rest and
repose for enjoyment, and retire late
to troubled sleep. the work OF the
kidneys is increased enormously.
Every bit OF energy consumed throws
into the blood quantity of waste like
the ashes OF a fire, and If the using
up is too rapid, the kidneys cannot
keep pace with It A cold, chill, fever,
strain Or any excess may hasten the
inevitable breakdown. and as the CIR
culation Of the blood never stops, the
kidneys have no time to rest, no
chance to mend Sick kidneys cannot
get we'll alone.
The first warnings OF kidney weak
ness are dull aching pain in the back
