' . ' j NOT, AiLWAYS UNDERSTOOD. A fact often overlooked, or not always understood1, is tlhat- women suffer as much from distressing kidney and bladder troub les as the men. The womb is sltua'ted back f and very close to the Madder, and for hat reason any distress, disease jr incon venience manifested in the kidney, back iladder ; or urinary passage is -often, by mistake, attributed to lema'le weakness, or womb trouble of some sort. ': The error is easily made and may be as aasily avoided by setting urine aside for twenty -four hours; a sediment or settling is evidence that your kidneys and bladder aeed d::octoing., If you have pain or dull aching in . the back, pass . water too fre- luenlUy, or scanty supply, with smarting r burning these are also convincing proofs of kidney trouble.
