Your Health

NOUR body is closely linked system of organs
l. and tissues.
Within the body the heart, the circulation of the
blood and the kidneys constitute system. 1t is
known as the cardiovascuar renal system, and its
normal functionng is absolutely vital to good health
A disturbance of any single part of this system
is likely to be reflected in the other two parts
Thus a weakness of the heart will show itself in
circulation of the blood and activity Of the kidneys
A disturbance of elimination by the kidneys will
show itself in the blood and in the action of the
heart The kidneys, by taking material out of the
blood and eliminating it from the body, control the
volume of the blood and its chemical composition.
Therefore it is exceedingly important that the
kidneys be watched constantly.
TT has been estimated that, for the elimination Of
j. one-half quarts of fluid by the kidneys, more
than sixty quarts pass through them.
When there is chronic Inflammation Of the kidney,
there is considerable interference with its function
Under these circumstances there may be COL
lections of fluid in various portions of the body
bringing about the type of swelling called edema
There may also be headache vomiting, dizziness,
and other symptoms due to retaining of poisonous
waste products.
In treating such conditions the physician must
first determine the character of the chronic in
fammation. If the body is overlooked with water,
he can not put too much water into the system.
TT is not desirable to sweat all patients to give
l. cathartics that are too active
The amount of salt that the patient takes must
be carefully reegated in relationship to the condition
of his blood The collection of large amounts of
fluid in the legs, the hands, and swelling of the
face may be taken an indication that the heart
is not functoning properly and may be necessary
to strengthen its action by giving proper drugs.
1t is thus obvious that a chronic Inflammation of
the kidneys represents a most delicate and serious
condition.
The taking of kidney out of bottles without
relationship to the exact nature Of the condition is
trifing with the regulation of most delicate or
