ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WEAK?
Thousands of Men and Women Have Kidney Trou-
BILE and Never Suspect It.

Nature warns you when the track of
health is not clear. Kidney and bladder
troubles compel you to pass water often
during the day and get up many times
during the night.
Unhealthy kidneys cause 1umbago,
rheumatism, catarrh of the bladder,
pain or dull ache In the back, joints or
muscles, at times have headache or indf-
gestion, as time passes you may have a
sallow complexion, puffy or dark circles
under the eyes, sometimes feel as
though you had heart trouble, may
have plenty of ambition but no strength,
get weak and lose flesh.
If such conditions are permitted to
continue, serious results are sure to fol-
low; Bright's disease, the very worst
form of kidney trouble, may steal upon
you.
Prevalency of Kidney Disease.
Most people do not realize the alarm
ing increase and remarkable prevalency
of kidney disease. While kidney disor,
ders are the most common diseases that
prevail, they are almost the last recog-
nized by patient and physicians, who
usually content themselves with doctor
ing the effects. while the original disease
constantly undermines the system.

cause of your sickness or run down con-
oftton, begin taking DR.. Kflmer's

and bladder remedy. because as soon as

the other organs to health

Darrow, after the slight pause neces-
