dull misery in the kidney region, Sc
we're headaches, rheumatic twinges,
torpid liver, acid stomach, sleepless-
ness and all sorts of bladder disor-
ders, dizzy spells, spots before the
eyes, frequent desire to urinate.
To avoid above troubles, you simply
must keep your kidneys active and
clean, and the moment you feel any
Of the above symptoms get good
sized bottle of Stuart's Buchu and
Juniper Compound from any good
drug store, take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water after meals. Stop
eating sweets or sugar. In few
days your kidneys will then act fine
and natural. Stuart's Buchu and Jul
niper is harmless to. flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to nor
NAL activity. 1t also neutralizes the
acids in the urine so 1t no longer
hurts to pass water, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Everybody should take Stuart's Bu-

keep their kidneys clean. It's old
