A VALUABLE SUGGESTION IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE It is now conceded by physicians that the kidneys should have more atten tion as they control the other organs Ito a remarkable degree and do a tre i mendous amount of work in removing the poisons and waste matter from the system bv filtering the blood. During the* winter months especia - lv, when we live an indoor life, tue kidneys should receive some assistance when needed, as we take less exercise drink less water and often eat more rich heavy food, thereby forcing the 1 kidneys to do more work than .Nature ! intended. Evidence of kidney trou i ble such as lame back, annoying blad ' I der troubles, smarting or burning, | brick-dust or sediment, sallow com -1 plexionj rheumatism, may be weak oi ) irregular heart action, warns you that your kidneys require help immediate ly to avoid more serious trouble.

Often thisstufi because it livens and brighter them up a little just after taking a dose, leads them to imagine tnat it is doinj? them good, when it isn't.

Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion is a rea' medicine —a splendid, body and strength-builder, especially good for old people, because it furnishes to the system ingredients necessary to re build wasted tissues, strengthen the nerves, give new energy and a younger and livelier felling to the body. 1 dosen't contain a drop of alcohol noi any dangerous drug. It may not make you feel belter after the first dose, nor perhaps for several days But if you don't feel much better and stronger before you have taken a quarter as much as you have of other medicines tiiat didn't help you, we will gladly give you back .\our.money. That's certainly a square deal The lour Hypophosphites it contain are used by leading physicians every where in debility, weakness and liabil ity to disease, to tone and strengthen the nerves. Purest Olive Oil, one of the most nutritous, most-easily-di gested foods known, being taken with the hypophosphites, gives rich tissue nourishment to the entire system.
