ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; indiges-
ton; irritation, or even stone in the blad'
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
Is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in
