That Lame Back Means
Kidney Disease
And to Relieve the Lame and Aching Back,'
You Must First Relieve the Kidneys
Thore Is no question about that I
at all for the lame and aching
back Is caused by a diseased con
dition of the kidneys and bladder.
It Is only common sense, any way
that you miiBt cure a condition
by removing the cause of the con
dition. And lame and aching back
are not by any means the only
symptoms of derangement of the
kidneys and bladder. There are a
multitude of well-known and un
mistakable indications or a more or
less dangerous condition. Home of
these are, for Instance: Extreme
and unnatural lassitude and weari
ness, nervous Irritability, heart Ir
regularity, "nerves on edge," sleep
lessness and Inability to secure
rest, scalding sensation and sedi
ment In the urine. Inflammation of
the bladder and passages, etc.
