Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis-
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid-
neys are out of order
‘ or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
” become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
, for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kid—
‘ neys. If the child urin-
, ates too often, if the
he flesh pr if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as .men are made mis‘
arable with kidney and bladder trouble,
.and both need the same great remedy.
