A tact often overlooked, or not always understood, is that women suffer as much trom distressing Kidney and bladder troubles as men. The womb is situated back of and close to the bladder, and for that reason any distress, disease or in- convenience manifested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is otten by mistake attributed to temale weak- ness or womb trouble ot some sort, The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided by setting urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling is evidence that your kidneys and bladder need docloring. It you have painor dull achirg inthe back, pass water too frequently or scanty supply, with smarting or burning—these are also proof of kidney trouble.
