There are scores of people who
drag out a miserable existence
without realizing the cause OF
their suffering. Day after day
they are racked with backache
and headache; suffer from ner-
vousness, dizziness, weakness,
languor and depression. Likely
the kidneys have fallen behind
in their work of fltering the
blood and that is the root Of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys.
