FOR Y0R KIDNEYS The kidneys ar& for removing waste 'matters from the system. , These waste matters are poisonous. When they are not promptly and completely expelled . from the body they clog other organs, interfering with their work. Therefore kidney trouble often leads to other troubles. Neglecting your kidneys when there is anything the matter with them is a serious tiling. , : , . ; . REXALL KIDNEY PILLS are, we Iwlievc. a most effective remedy for kidney ailments, and weakness of all kinds.. We make this statement after long experience with other forms of kidney treatment. IF THEY FAILYOUR MONEY BACK Wo are so positive that Rexall Kidney Pills are unexcelled by any other similar form of kidney remedy, and that they will do all we claim that we sell them with our own personal guarantee that they will not cost the user, a cent if they fail to giw, entire' satisfaction. . x . -.
