Mrs. S. Joyce, ISO Sullivan street,
daremont, K. tt, write: "About a
year ago I bought two bottles of
ley's Kidney Cure. It cured me of
ever case of Kidney trouble of sev
eral years' standing. It certainly Is a
grand, good medicine, and I heartily
recommend It." T. F. Laurln, Owl
Drug Store.
Kidney complaint kills more people
than any other disease. This la due to
the disease being so insidious that It
gets a good hold on the system before
It Is recognised. Foley's Kidney Cure
will prevent the development of fatal
disease If taken In time. T. F. Laurln,
Owl Drug Store.
"Loving Is a painful thrill.
Not to love more painful still,
But ah! it Is the worst of pain.
To love ana not be loved again."
(When you feel that way, better take
Hollleter's Rocky Mountain Tea.)
