Don't neglect a pain anywhere. but
find out what causes it and conquer
the cause. A pain in the kidney re-
gion may put you on your back to-
morrow. Don't blame the weather
for swollen feet. it may be an ad-
vanced warning of Bright's disease. A
pain in the stomach may be the first
symptom of appendicitis. creak in
a Joint may be the forerunner of
rheumatism. Chronic headaches
more than likely warn you of serious
stomach trouble. The best way to
keep in good condition day in and day
