Your Kidneys
The kidneys and liver are the body’s
organs to carry off waste and poison.
When they don’t work, bad health fol
lows, and unless you take care of yourself,
disease may follow beyond the power of
medicine to cure.
Because of the seriousness of these
diseases, you should take Vin Hepatiea,
the universal system purifier, at the
earliest sign of any trouble with bowels or
liver. Tliis great nature medicine is com
posed of eight of the most powerful cura
tive herbs, and the certainty with v/1nch
they restore kidneys, the liver and bowels
to natural, healthy action is attested by
thousands who have been helped when
all other remedies and treatment proved
valueless.
P. M. Cawthom, a prominent fanner
and stockman of Mt. Juliet, Tenn., says
that after taking Vin Hepatiea he felt
like a wagon that had been oiled up and
put in fine ninning condition.
We know that Vin Hepatiea is a remedy
of real worth. We invite you to come in
and get a bottle. It will surely help you.

For several days citizens have no

truck, loaded with six and eight bales
of cotton, taking it to the compress,
and all,have admired him for nio en

load, and in fact, doing a real man’s
part of a day’s work. He was
driven to town and the broken mem

of business for a while, it is hoped
he will not suffer the loss of use of
his arm very long.

and that it was hoped an operation
would not be necessary.
