SAFE. GENTLE REMEDY
CLEANSES YOUR KIDNEYS

Tor centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been a standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-

body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood. If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-

dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins and lower abdo-

PUBLIC GOLF COURSES
ARE FAVORED BY TAFT

Twenty years ago q rather ro-
bust person began playing golf.
After having the idea at that
time that golf was as absurd a
game as was ever heard of, this
person = ex-President William
Howard Taft-now has the
following to say about the
game:
81 consider golf one of the
greatest things that has come to
man. Americans had been so
long chasing the almighty dol
lar that their digestions were
bad; their hair was getting
so scarce and bald that the
few hairs left should have been
shaved off altogether. Physi-
clans became alarmed at the
condition of the modern bust
ness man. Since the introduce
ton of golf we have given up
business cares, but not bust
ness energy The game has fur
nished a reason and q zest for
exercise. 1t is a Godsend to the
man from fifty to eighty years
of age, and we should recognize
it's health values"
