A VALUAB { SUGGESTION
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE

1t is now conceded by physicians
that. the kidneys should have more at
tention as they control the other or
gans to a remarkable degree and do
a tremendous amount of work In re-
moving the poisons and wasted mat
ter from the system by filtering the
blood.
During the winter months especial
ly. when we live an indoor life, the
kidneys should receive some assist,
ance when needed as we take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich heavy food, thereby fore
ing the kidneys to do more work
than Nature intended. Evidence Of
kidney trouble, such as lame back,
annoying bladder troubles, smarting
or burning, brick-dust or sediment,
sallow complexion, rheumatism, may
be weak or irregular heart action,
warns you that your kidneys require
help Immediately to avoid more seri-
Gus trouble.
Many physicians claim that an her
bal medicine containing no minerals
or opiates has the most healing in
fiuence. The ideal herbal compound
that has had most remarkable sue
cess as a. kidney and bladder remedy
is DR.. Kilmer's SwampRoot.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Ad-

CASTOR o.! Is
DIFFERENT NOW
THAT is, THE TASTE AND DOOR
HAVE BEEN REMOVED
Ke1lOgg's T~asteIess Castor
Oil is The Rest Laxative
in 5000 Years.

Spencer Kellogg & Sons of Buffalo,
oil refiners have succeeded in taking the
offensive taste and smell out of castor
oil.
The Kellogg's have done what chem
lists have tried to do and failed for 5000
years.
Doctors recommend castor oil as the
simplest, safest and best laxative. Every
household will use it oftener, now that it
is tasteless.
Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil is pure,
clear, refined castor oil, and so entirely
without taste hat children take it
easily.
This perfect laxative is now on sale in
all drug stores. Order Kellogg's Taste
less Castor Oil by NAME, to distinguish it
from various mixed and favored castor
oils, which are not tasteless. The trade
mark is on every label-a green castor
leaf bearing the observation-disclosures
25c and SOC sizes.
