I Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition: beauty, vigor tand cheerfulness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent , that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reacnes an age wnen it snouia oe aoie to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first ' step should be towards the treatment of these important organs.
