durable of all woolen materials. In
fact, most women admire blue serge
and believe that it gives better wear for
the money invested than other woolens

OF blue serge, but there is blue serge

SAFE, GENTLE REMEDY
CLEANSES YOUR KIDNEYS

Tor centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-
der are the most important organs of the
body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood. If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica and lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
All these indicate some weakness of the
kidneys or other organs or that the enemy
microbes which are always present in your
system have attacked your weak spots.
