Albuminuria.

or Bright’s Disease, is one of the most deadly complaints that attack debilitated constitutions. Owing to over exertion and over consumption of nerve force, the system becomes gradually weakened and relaxation sets in. The thin membranes of the kidneys are the first to go, and medical authorities state that 50 per cent, of the deaths, nowadays, occur indirectly from Bright’s Disease though the patients and their medical ad', hers never even suspected the presence of such a deadly foe. The function of the kidney is to separate the waste fluids from the blood, to purify it, and this process is carried on bywhat is termed by physiologists, “ osmosis.” In weakened systems the membranes become relaxed, and the albumen of the blood finds its way with the waste fluids through the kidney walls, and passes from the body with the urine ; the patient’s health and strength thus gradually failing. Beyond the presence of albumen in the water, Albuminuria has not any positive symptoms; but general weakness, which always leads to these serious disorders, always signifies its presence by special signs, you may get headache, spasmodic toothache’, torturing neuralgia, pain in small of the back disinclination to work, heavy, aching limb, on waking in the morning, bloodshot eyes, poor appetite, or constipation. These warns log symptoms must not be neglected, or m sure as * rat hole will sink a ship, so sure will the patient’s life be sacrificed. Ths retu*dv fadtoated is CLEMENTS’ TONIC,
