efficiency of the department is great

auto is forced to throw out his clutch
and use his brake to keep from. run

A prominent physician in a big,
flourishing city recently said: "Do
you know that there are more women
suffering from kidney trouble than

of the women who come to me think
ing they have female trouble are in
reality suffering from kidney trouble."
When thoy take Foley Kidney Pills
for their kidneys and bladder, their
troubles are soon cured.
Nervous, played out, tired women,
constantly dragged down with pain,
suffering from weak backs, sleepless,
without appetite and the victims of
headaches, use Foley Kidney Pills
without fear, and with entire confi
dence in their upbuilding and curative
qualities. The change to health,
strength and vitality will follow the
use of Foley Kidney Pills so sure as
morning follows night. And all be
cause Foley Kidney Pills are one of
those good, honest and reliable medi-j
cines that for a little cost can do big I
things for your benefit. Foley Kidney
Pills begin to work for you just so
soon as you take them, and even the
firs,t day's treatment will have a good
effect. Obey the impulse to take them
NOW, and in 24 hours you will be on
the up grade. Neglect yourself andj
you are paving the way for serious
complications and maybe a dangerous
illness. Use Foley Kidney Pills, which
will bring you back to sound health.
