The most simple methods are usu-
ally the most effective ones when
treating any disorder Of the human

Anurlc before every meal has been
found the most effective means Of
overcoming kidney trouble. Death
would occur II the kidneys did not
work day and night in separating
poisons and uric acid from the blood.
The danger signals are backache,
depressions, pains, heaviness, drowsl-
ness, irritability. headaches, chilli
ness, rheumatic twinges, swollen
Joints or govt.
Since 1t is such simple matter to
step into your favorite drug store and

desires to regain health and new life
