It might be a relatively easy
matter for one of the belligerent
' nations to "convince us that the

very cause of God", according to

MON SENSE NEUTRALITY",
which will be published by Hast
ings House January IB, 1940.
I "They might convince us,” Dr.
Johnson writes, “that their cause
i is a crusade for the liberation of
' mankind, and that it is a sin against
God for us not to put all of our re
sources and our man power at its
disposal.

_
If you aren’t feeling just right
—are nervous—have dizzy spells,
and occasional backache—study
your kidneys and learn more about
yourself.
Through the delicate filters of j
the kidneys, acid and poisonous
waste are drawn from the blood
and discharged from the body thru
the bladder—sometimes these fil
ters are less active than they j
should be because of excess poison
ous waste and kidneys do not func
tion properly—they need harmless
stimulation.
One reliable medicine, highly ef
ficient and inexpensive is GOLD
Medal Haarlem Oil Capsules. This
grand medicine has been helping
people for 50 years —to relieve
their aches and pains by helping
conditions caused or aggravated by
excess uric acid or other circulating
poisons such as neuritis, neuralgia,
lumbago and rheumatism.
So, if you have such symptoms
of kidney trouble as backache, ner
vousness, getting up two or three
times during the night—scanty
burning or smarting passage—leg
cramps, moist palms or puffy eyes
—get a 35 cent package of this
grand and harmless diuretic at any
modern drugstore—it starts the
first day on its errand of helpful
ness.
Don’t be an EASY MARK and
accept a substitute—Ask for Gold

Right from Haarlem in Holland.
GET GOLD MEDAL—the original
—the genuine. Look for the Gold
Medal on the box—35 cents.
