ACHES AND PAINS

Don t neglect pain anywhere, but
find out what causes it and conquer
the cause. Pain in the kidney region
may put you on your back tomorrow.
Don { blame the weather for swollen
feet, it may be an advanced warning
of Bright S disease. A pain in the stom-
ach NAV be the first symptom of ap'
pendicitis. A creal in joint may be
the forerunner of rheumatism. Chronic
headaches more than likely warn you
of serious stomach trouble. The best
way is to keep in good condition day
in and day out by regularly taking
