Perhaps Your Backache
Comes From Kidneys
Kidneys Often Run Down, Get Slug.
eish, Need Regulation. How to Tell.

Not all backaches are kidney back
aches, but many Of them are and at the
first sign of back pains, twinges or weak
ness in the kidney regions it is good
plan to use good safe kidney regulator
such as a little solvax, as even two or
three doses will often enable you to see
right where your kidneys stand.
If the kidneys are all right solvax won't
do them a bit Of harm and if they are
weakened or run down 1t will do them a
world of good, for Solvax acts directly
on sluggish kidneys and cleans and
strengthens them so that almost imme-
diately they begin to filter and sift out
of your body all the clogged up poison
Gus impurities from the blood Solvax
usually will act in less than "a hours and
with the kidneys acting normally you
should begin to feel better right away.
Solvax is a guaranteed remedy for Dis
ordered Kidneys in that Bowditch- Web
ster & Co. and leading druggists every.
where, who sell 1t agree to return its
price in any case II it does not give
perfect satisfaction. There is no time
like the present for doing thing that
ought to be done and If there is any
doubt about the kidneys. today is the best
time to find it out before serious trouble
may beRin.-Adv. mch13-l6-2o

be very feeble; two is rather poor. We
all ought to put on three inches, and
four is good. 1t is right and proper
that the lungs should be well expand
ed at each breath. The air penetrates
more easily into some parts Of 1.-The
lungs. The apex, at the base Of the
neck, just behind the collar bone, is
rather sluggish part of the incoming
air current. That is considered to be
one of the reasons why the apex is the

exercises. The ribs are soft In child

stopped the ribs are in their position
