Don't Neglect Them!
Nature designed the kidneys to do a
marveloua job. Their task is to keep the
flowing blood stream free of an excess of
toxic impurities. The act of living—Ufa
itself-—is constantly producing waste
matter the kidneys must remove from
the blood if good heath is to endure.
When the kidneys fail to function as
Nature intended, there is retention of
waste that may causo body-wide dis-
tress. One may suffer nagging backache,
persistent headache, at tacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, pufflness
under the eyes—fuel tired, nervous, all
worn out.
Frequent, scanty or burning passages
are sometimes further evidence of kid-
ney or bladder dist urbance.
The recognized and proper treatment
is a diuretic medicine to help the kidneys
get rid of excess poisonous body waste.

than forty years of public approval. Are
