Many people who are neglecting symptoms of kidney trouble, hoping "it will wear away," are
drifting towards Bright' s Disease, which is kidney trouble in one of its worst forms.
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 Trouble 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.
You can easily determine if your kidneys ara
out of order by setting asiae for 24 hoars a
bottle of tbe urine passed upon arising;. If
npon examination it is cloudy or milky or has
a brick-dust sediment or small particles float
about in it, your kidneys are diseased, and
FOLEVS KIDNEY CURE should be taken
at once.
G. D. Burhans Testifies After Four Tears
G. B. Burhans of Carlisle Center, N. Y., writes: '
"About four rears age I wrote jroa statinf that I had sees entire!)?

riin sad aymptosas of kidney disease disappeared. 1 aas g tad te that
