Get New Kidneys

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of hltering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of Appetite; indiges-
ton; irritation, or even stone in the blad-
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start. taking
Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules, and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blads
der troubles. A delay is often fatal.
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules.

aration has been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.

GOING BACK TO NATURE
BY DIR. w. LUCAS.

People get sick because they 60
away from Nature, and the only way
to get well Is to go back. Something
grows out of the ground in the form
of vegetation TO cure almost every Ill.
Some Of these vegetable growths are
understood by man, and some are not.
Animals, it would seem, know what to
do when they are sick better than
men and women. Observers have
noted that a sick horse, dog or cat
will stop eating food and seek out
some vegetable growth in the field or
yard, which, when found and eaten,
often restores appetite and health.
Haven't you seen these animals do
this very thing yourself?
Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, long since
found the herbs and roots provided by
Nature to overcome constipation, and he
had these vegetables collected and made
up of Mayapple, leaves of Aloe, root o.
Jalap, into little white sugar-coated pills
that he called DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
You must understand that when your in
testines are stopped up, poisons and de
