Kidney trouble preys upon the mind,

ncss soon disappear
when the kidneys are

become so prevalent
that it is not uncom
mon for n child to be
born afflicted with
weak kidneys. If the
child urinatcstoooftcn, if the urine scalds
the flesh, or 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 diffi
culty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards thi treatment of
these iiuportautorgans. 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 arc made miser
able with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
