HAVE YOU A BAD BACK?

Does your back ache, night and day;
Hinder work; destroy your rest
Does it stab you through and through
When you stoop or lift or bendf
Then your kidneys may be weak.
Often backache is the clue.
Just to give you further proof,
Tie kidneys action may be wrong.
If attention is not paid
More distress will soon appear.
Headaches, dizzy spells and nerves,
Uric acid and its ills
Make the burden worse and worse.
Liniments and plasters can't
Reach the inward cause at all;
Middlebury folks have tried and
proved.
What they say you can believe.
