BACKACHE DOES NOT MEAN KIDNEY DISEASE

People who are attacked with pains in the lower part of the back too often conclude that there is something wrong with the kidneys. As a matter of fact backache, seldom or never means kidney trouble. , Real organic kidney trouble does not often develop a pain in the back. Doctors detect kidney disease by the excretions of the kidneys. Thin blood causes backache; also rheumatism which is called lumbago, when the pain is in the loins. Every muscle of the .body needs_ a supply of rich, red: blood in proportion to the work it does. The'muscles of the back are under heavy strain and have but little rest. - When the blood is thin they lack nourishment and rebel. The result is a sensation of pain in those muscles. . , . Pains in the back should always lead the sufferer to- look to the condition of the blood.
