Washington, Dec. 22, The United Stales has gradually acquired more thuti one fourth of the world's supply of money gold. If Kurope finally iius to sell to America the five billion dol lars worth of American securities which she still holds, the United States will have gone a long way toward es tablishing a dollar exchange.

KIDNEY DISORDERS QUICKLY RELIEVED Lending druggists everywhere are ! establishing new records jn the sale of j medicine. Believing that no medicine ) ought to be paid for unless if does the user some good tkey have adopted the plun of selling Solvnx, the standard . kidney remedy, tinner a positive guar antee of quick relief from ull kidney or bladder misery, or money buck without a question. This spcuks eloquently for the virtues of the remedy and already has created a wide-spread demand for it here in Salem. Hundreds of people I in - every walk of life have been re-1 lieved of the agonies attendant on weak, . disarranged or clogged-up kiil-j neys and bladder by this remarkable remedy, it is not just merely a kidney treatment, it is a medicine that aims to; put the entire, pninruckeit body into normal condition and give vigorous health after the many puinful disorders caused directly or indirectly by sick kidneys. A change for the better will be seen after the first few doses of Solvax and its continued use should tone up tho entire system of improp erly working organs and give the de sire to live and enjoy life to its full est. Solvnx is considered by many thei best kidney remedy on the market to-j day because it aims to cure by striking i directly at the cause of all the trouble. The nisny pnins and aches caused by improperly working kidneys cannot be permanently cured unless the cause is removed. Solvnx is sold under n positive guar antee to refund the money if it doesi not cure. This is the strongest proof that can be offered as to the merit of; tho medicine. You are cheating your-, self out of your slice of life if you do , not give Solvnx a chance. Get it today1 from Daniel .1.
