greater part of all sickness today can
be avoided by '.seeping the Kidneys

any of the many agonies that accom-
pany weak, clogged-up or diseased kid
neys you should not neglect yourself
another day and run the risk of serious
complications. Secure a package of
Solvax, the wonderful new kidney REM
edy which is very inexpensive yet acts
quickly and surely on the seat Of the
trouble You'll be surprised how en-
tirely different you'll feel in very
short time.
1t doesn't matter how long you have
suffered, how old you are, or what you
have used. The very principle of Sol
wax is such that it is practically inn
possible to take it into the human sys-
tenn without beneficial results.
Solvax is pleasant to take, gives
quick relief and has been SO uniformly
successful that Charles l.. JOY & Co,
will in future sell 1t under positive
guarantee of relief or refund the money.
No other kidney remedy ever had a
large enough percentage of cures so
that it could be sold in this manner. A
guarantee like this speaks volumes for
the merit Of Solvax.
