Kidney: Trouble While Backache in itself is not a disease, it indicates a derange- ment of the vital organs—it’s a symptom of disease. Kidney trouble, at any stage, is serious and neglect of the symptom means: neglecting the disease. Curing a Backache means cur- ing diseased Kidneys and reliev- ing- them of congestion. This can be done in the early stages. Buker’s Kidney Pills are specific for the cure of Backache and Kidney trouble, if taken 1n time. It' s a vegetable remedy. Drug- gists sell them for 50 cents.
