Many Troubles Due
To Weak Kidneys

1T is no use advertising a medicine un-
back up the claims you make for it, On
the other hand it is a pleasure for drug
gists to sell medicine when customers
come in afterward and tell how much
good it has done them. And that Is why
druggists like to sell and recommend Sol
wax, the great kidney remedy. Ever
since we first introduced Solv2X drug
it is sometimes hard to keep a sufficient
stock on hand. Moreover SovaX is al
ways sold on a positive guarantee of re-
lief to the kidney sufferer or money back.
This may seem rash but users have said
so many good words in favor of Solvax
that it is not expected that many pack
ages will be returned
This shows great faith in Solvax. 1t
really is 4 most unusual medicine because
it overcomes the worst cases of kidney
complaints by removing the cause. 1t
goes straight to the seat of the trouble
IT soaks right in and cleans out the kid
neys and makes them pass off all the
uric acid and poisonous waste matter
that lodges in the joints and muscles,
causing rheumatic pains: soothes and
heals the bladder and quickly ends all
such troubles
Nothing is more uncomfortable or hurts

more than troublesome kidneys and their

life. Sold by Bowditch- Webster Co. and
