Foley's Kidney Cure I had to get up
from twelve to twenty times a night,
and I was all bloated up with dropsy
and my eyesight wns so Impaired that
I could scarcely see one of my fam

hope of living, when a friend recom
mended Foley's Kidney Cure. One B0

dropsy had gone, as well aa all other
symptoms of Brlght's Disease." T.

Tho cheap Imitations of Foley's
Honey and Tar cost you the same ns
