Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and inaame,

the bladder, obliging you to seek relief

Bladder weakness, most folks call il.
because they can't control urins&ion.
While it is extremely enjoying and some
times very painful, this is really one Of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
