The urine is cloudy, full of sediment,
channels often get sore, water scalds
and you are obliged to seek relief two
or three times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable ply

of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act

to pull up the basket very carefully

only spilled out once, a little. IL was

them float slowly down to the grass.

was getting supper. They could look
through the dining room window and
watch her setting the table, and from
the kitchen came a delicious smell OF
toast. It was almost time to go home.

all the things into the basket. But
