take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for n few days and your kidneys will

from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean
and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so 1t no

ending bladder weakness.

twice he went out to the barn and
looked at the place where she had
stood.

gone, and l owe the bank every cent

about Toms bad luck. And somehow,
Toms plight appealed to them, for
