What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT 10
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent thei,
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of Sc
rious illness, makes a chemical analyst,
of the patients urine. He knows that un.
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected OF
abused in any way, serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health OF these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as kidney remedy il

handfuls of pebbles will be enough
In addition, you must buy some bird
seed or Japanese grass seed to plant
in the soil. The rest of the garden
material can be picked up at home.
There are any number o. arrange
ments for the garden that can be
worked out, and you can replant your

II is impossible now to go from

from Denmark to the Pittsburgh

have been stopped on account of the

by rail and then cross the North sea
at Helsingborg. If you go at night the
trains are taken over on a ferry, one

hours long we stopped all night at
Gothenburg, the great Swedish seaport

wonderful old place, standing right on

that on dark and moonless nights the

his long white-robed arms.
