Does Your Back Foretell Every Change of the Weather? Do You Feel O1d and Stiff and Suffer Sharp, Rheumatic Pains? Then Look To Your Kidneys! RE winter months your backache months? Does every cold, chill or attack of grip leave you lame, achy and all worn out? Does your back throb and ache until it seems you just can’t keep going another day? Then look to your kidneys! Grip, colds and chills throw a heavy strain on the kid- neys. They overload the blood with pois- ons and impurities that the kidneys have to filter off. The kidneys weaken under this rush of new work; become congested and inflamed. It's little wonder, then, that every cold finds you suffering with torturing back- ache, rheumatic pains, headaches, dizzi- ness and annoying bladder irregularities. Don’t wait! Delay may lead to serious or chronic kidney sickness. Realize that your kidneys have weakened in fighting the cold-created poisons and give them the help they need.
