KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT
TO INSURE HEALTH.

Few people realize to that extent their
health depends upon the condition Of the
kidneys.

serious illness, makes . chemical analysis
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 or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health sta
tstics, Bright's disease, which is really
IN advanced form of kidney trouble,
caused nearly ten thousand deaths In one
year. in the State OF New York alone.
