MANY LOGAN PEOPLE HAVE
DONE so.

When the kidneys are sick they
give unmistakable warningsthat should
not be ignored. By examining the ur-
Inc and treating the kidneys upon the
first sign Of disorder, many days OF
suffering may be saved. Sick kidneys
expel a dark, ill-smelling urine, full
OF "brickdust" sediment and painful
in passage. Sluggish kidneys cause a
duh pain in the small of the back,
headaches, dizzy spells, tired, languid
feelings and frequent rheumatic
twinges.
