Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition ; beauty, vigor ana cheerful ness goon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or dis eased. Kidney trouble hat become so prevalent that it is not unpom- t mon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidney9. If the child urinates toooften, if the urine scald the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, jt is yet afflicted with, bed-wet tine, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi culty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose.
