Do sharp, knife-like pains go through you at every sudden move? Do you feel weak, tired, all worn out — as if you just can’t keep going? It’s, time, then, you found out the cause of the trouble and made some effort to correct it. Quite likely it’s your kidneys. A cold, strain or overwork has probably weakened the kidneys and that is why you suffer that dull, depress- ing backache, and those sudden, stabbing pains.
