leave the system in rundown condition.
The kidneys seem to suffer most, as al
most every victim complains of lame back

lead to more dangerous kidney troubles.

many people say, soon heals and strength

an herbal compound, has gentle heal

4 factor Of greai importance in
bombing is the time-length of the
fuse. For example. if q railway juno
ton was being attacked. bomb
which exploded on contact would do
far more damage than one with a de-
lay fuse. for he former would have
s. wide. low radius of action-smash-
ing I'D the railway lines-while ihe
latter would during the delay bury
Itself in the ground and merely make
a deep crater of small area.
The reverse, however. would apply
in the case of a muniIion factory. A
bomb exploding on contact would go
off as soon as il touched the roof
doing little or no damage to The re-
mainder of he building; but an ap-
propriatelv timed delay fuse would
give he bomb lime to crash through
10 ihe middle or ground floors, where
it would be infinitely more destluc-
tive.
