Hidden Danger of Kidney

I got this information from a very old Woman Magazine dated back in April 25, 1938.

I was working at home with this old couple, when they left me on my own and this magazine fell off on the floor from the chair.

The title has caught my attention, so I grabbed a pen and jot down very important tit bits for us (referring to people in the forum) to peruse. Hope you'll take time to read:

"The hidden danger exists if weak and inflamed kidneys are neglected. Uric acid and other impurities, when allowed to collect in the system, quickly begin their work of destruction."

Dr Sheldon, the author, who formulated a remedy called Dr Sheldon's Gin Pills said, "it is our kidneys that cause ILL_HEALTH, when and if for some reason, the kidneys are unable to eliminate and filter poisonous waste materials which are always forming in the blood. Then, a slow poisoning is set up in the human system.

This poisoning, he added, do manifest in diverse ways and is directly or indirectly responsible for remarkable symptoms and ailments such as backache, rheumatism, sciatica, nervous disorders, headaches, lumbago, arthritis, joint pains, rheumatic pains and many others. These mentioned ailments are caused by weak and inflamed kidneys which permit impurities to escape into the blood stream.

If any of these symptoms or ailments are noted, Kidney trouble is present or indicated.

The Gin Pills he formulated which I really doubt is available in the pharmacy today (this could be an over the counter drug in those times) was known to help strengthen and envigorate the kidneys and help to filter impurities and poisonous waste material from the blood streams. At the same time, it also acted as a tonic to the whole system.

While this blog sounds too commercial, that's beside the point I posted it here.

Just note how he mentioned "impurities and poisonous waste materials."

They can be from any liquid we take such as water that is not purified, drinks like carbonated drinks, juices, liquour, and any other drinks that contain impurities.

Again, in my opinion, this indicates how we live our lifestyle. The habit of regularly eliminating our body fluid is surely a must.

The drinks mostly that we drink are high in content with minerals. No wonder, as little school kids, we were always told to drink 8 glasses of water everyday. Sweating is one form of waste material elimination besides micturation process.

Kidney is the water filter of our system. Those minerals content in our drinks that are not eliminated through passing urine will deposit in the bladder and become hard as stone.

May you all find this helpful.
