You Must First Relieve the kidneys

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.
il IS only common sense, any way
that you must cure a condition
by removing the cause OF the con-
diton. And lame and aching back
are not by any means tho only
symptoms OF derangement OF tho
kidneys and bladder. There are a
multitude OF well-known and IN
miStakabl9 indications OF 4 more or
less dangerous condition. Some OF
these are. for instance: Extreme
and unnatural lassitude and weari-
ness. nervous irritablity, heart If
regularity, nerves on edge" sleep
lessnsss and inability to secure
rest, scaiding sensation and sedi-
rpent IN the urine. Inflammation OF
the bladder and passages. etc.
