at it

Many people who are neglecting symptoms of kidney trouble, hoping 4t will wear away," are
drifting towards Bright' s Disease, which is kidney trouble in one of its worst forms.
HS(CI
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 are
out of order by setting aside for 34 hours a
botUe of the urine passed upon arising;. If
upon examination it is cloudy or milky or has
a brick-dust sediment or small particles float
about in it, yout kidneys are diseased, and
FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE should be taken
at once.
G. B. Burhans Testifies After Four Years
G. B. Burhans of Carlisle Center, N. Y., writes:
"About four year ago I wrote you stating that I had been entirely
cured of a sever kidoejr trouble by talcing leaa than two bottles of
Poley'a Kidney Cure. It entirely (topped th brlck-duit sediment and
pain and symptoms of kidney disease disappeared. I am glad to say that
1 have never had a return of any of those symptom during th four
year that have elansed, and I am evidently cured to stay eared, and
heartily recommend Foley' Kidney Cur to any on suffering from
kidney or bladder trouble."
