Kidneys Must
Work Well-
For You To Feel Well
24 hours evary day, 7 days every
week, never stopping, the kidneys filter
waste matter from the blood.
If more people were aware oAhow the
kidneys must constantly remove sur
plus fluid, excess acids and other waste
matter that cannot stay in the blood
without injury to health, there would
be better understanding of vhy the
whpU. system is upset when kidneys fail
to function properly.
Burning, scanty or too frequent urina
tion sometimes warns Hhat something
is wrong. You may suffer'nagging back
ache, headaches, dizziness, rheumatic
pains, getting up at nights, swelling.

:ne iH>puiati.jn.in the county in which
they are situated. The Hill-Burton
act ^auld supply federal money to
enlarge the present facilities in these
hospitals if they so desired.
The larger hospitals have been di-
vided into twp classifications, base
and intermediate, in proportion to
the population of their area. Three
a.e in base areas, where the popula
tion is at least 100,000, and the other
five selected are in the intermediate
areas, where the population is at
least 25,000. Laurens and two other )
counties are in the Greenville region, 1
where the Gaston, Coleman, Green- 1
ville General, St. Francis, Working
Benevolent Society, and Maternity!
Shelter hospitals serve the district.
The hospital division determined
the population of Laurens county-
; by a combination of the 1940 federal-
census,^ unofficial 1943 qensus bas-i
|ed on ration books. and the estimated'|
population for the state in 1947. Con-
j-version orf these three figures mto-j
“ j one gave a total population for Lau-j
t j tens county of 41,071 persons, which,
with the ratio of 2.5 beds per 1,000 in |
rural areas, brings Laurens county’s
basic quota of hospital beds to 103.*
Since the state as a whole is entitled |
to 8,474 general hospital beds,..and
since the total allocation of these
beds to. the counties is 6,186, a "state
- pool" of 2,288 surplus beds remains. 1
i These surplus beds have been dis-]
I triiouted among the counties in rela-
I tion to their buying power, and -this
percentage times the total number]
of surplus beds gives the county 45
more beds than its allocation by
population, or a total of 72 beds, de
ducting those already available.
The hospital division stated that
buying power was chosen as the basis
for allocating ‘‘state pool” hospital
that the use of, and consequently
bods because i n vest i gait ion indicated
the need for, hospital beds depends j
on the amount -of money available
to purchase hospital service. Con
tinuing, the hospital division report 1
added, “it is realized that several of.
thr spiallgi; fountjpe may not be abli
; to build and support a hospital of a
- size and character consistent with
efficient and economical operation.]
Consequently, they may wish to join
with one or more counties to build j
; and operate a central hospital serving
| the entire area of combined coun- -
ties. Otherwise they may decide to I
build a community clinic containing
diagnostic facilities and equipping
to care for normal obsterics, certain
types of medical cases, emergency
care of accident cases, et "cetra., and
closely affiliate this clinic with some
hospital to which patients may be re^
ferred for services not'available in
the community clinic.”
And, concluding its reference to
general hospital areas, the report
states, “since the area > or county,,
must pay two-thirds ot the cost of
construction and the .entire cost of
