sours, tongue is coated and when the
weather is bad you have rheuma-
tic twinges. The urine gets cloudy,
full of sediment, the channels often
get sore and irFitated, obliging you
to seek relief two or three times dur
ing the night.
To .neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
