and bladder troubles were to be traced to the
kidneys, but now modern science proves that
nearly all diseases have their beginning in the
disorder of these most important organs,

is their work.
So when your kidneys are weak or out of
order, you can understand how quickly your
entire body is affected, ana how every organ

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible
for more sickness and suffering than any other
disease, and if permitted to continue fatal re-
wits are sure to follow. Kidney trouble irri-

If there is any doubt in your mind as to your
condition, take from your urine on rising about
