Find the Cause !
It iw't right to drag along feeling
miserable half sick. Find out what is
making you feel to badly and try to
correct it. Perhaps your kidneys are
causing that throbbing backache or
.those sharp, stabbing pains. You may
have morning lameness, too, headaches,
dizzy spells and irregular kidney action.
