All the biood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when un healthy some part of this impure mat ter 13 left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms? pain in the back, headache, nervous ness, hot. dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders, of the eyesight and hear.'-.',', dizziness, irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the (liters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys. (\. VV. Wallace Garllhgtori Street, Laurens, S. C\, says: -| used I loan's Kidney t'llls and from the resuits re ceived, J:.ir..< very highly of them, in fact ; can say that they did me more good thah any other medicine i ever ' ? i. For months a' a time I had baoki'Che. often so Severe as to lay me -up. a sharp pain caught hie across the small of my back when I tut? mpted to stoop and was so Intense that 1 had to cry out. Tho kidnoy secretions were too frequent i:i ,>a< utge, particularly at night and at line.-, contained much sediment. The various remedies i used brought mo no apparent benbilt and when I saw Dean's Kidnoy Pills advertised. I pro ctired a box at the Palmetto brug Co.
