Grippe" Leaves
 Kidneys Weak

The epidemic of colds and grippe that has been sweeping the country has seemingly left even a greater number of people than ever in a weak ened. rundown condition from which there is but d slow recovery. Much of this after weakness affects the kidneys and bladder. making it difficult for them to perform their natural fufic- tions. Sufferers have to get in and out bed. half dozen times a night. their backs are weak and painful, sick head aches and dizziness are common symp- toms. No serious trouble may. exist. but the time to check such symptoms is at once before matters grow worse. No complicated treatment may ha needed if few doses of a good safe kidney regulator like Solvax is taken right away. Solvax straightens out an ordinary case of weakened Kidneys in about twenty four hours in many in stances. sits out and heutralizes poisonous uric acid and drives the clegged up poisonous kidney waste from the body so that you can begin to feel better right away. .solvax. is harmless. contains no alcohol or habit drugs, and Lee & Osgood Co., and other leading druggists agree to refund it's full purchase price if in any case 1t fails to give entire satisfaction.
