stops Irregularities, strengthens the urinary organs and builds up the worn-out tissues
of the kidneys so they will perform their functions properly. Healthy kidneys strain out
the impurities from the blood as it passes through them. Diseased kidneys do not, and
the poisonous waste matter is carried by the circulation to every part of the body,
causing dizziness, backache, stomach trouble, sluggish liver, irregular heart action, etc,
If you have any signs of Kidney or Bladder '1 'rouble commence taking FOLEY'S
KIDNEY CURE at once, as it will cure a slight disorder in a few days and prevent a
fatal malady. It is pleasant to take and benefits the whole system.
How to Find Out.
. Yon can easily determine If your kidneys are
out of order by setting; aside for 34 houra a
bottle of the urine passed upon arising. If
upon examination it is cloudy or milky or has
brick-dust sediment or small particles float
about in it, your kidneys are diseased, and
FOLEY'S K'DNEY CURE should betaken
