DIR. COOK
ON
BLADDER TROUBLES

Bladder troubles make life miserable 90
those who suffer from them, and unless
they are promptly overcome they are GER
tain TO cause serious conditions. Inham-
nation Of the bladder is becoming more
and more common and when neglected ID
develops liberation and this may be fol-
lowed by perforatiOn and death. The irri-
table condition that demands frequent
evacuation during the night as well as day
time, is a source of great modification and
discomcomfort to old and young.
DR.. Cook, of Chicago, an authority On
kidney and bladder troubles, says:
ait is impossible to find single agent
that is a specific for this class of troubles,
because there are so many different struc-
lures involved in the organs. However,
we are able to combine the best known
remedies and obtain most excellent re-
suits. The preparation known as FOLEY's
KIDNEY CgRE is an ideal combination
1 use it extensively in my practice and find
it can be employed successfully In every
form of kidney and bladder trouble"
FoLEY's kidney CURE Is an honest
preparation. 1t is not decoction of some
hitherto unknown root or herb claimed to
be a cure-all. Common sense tells US
that such preparations have but little If
any value. FoLEY's KIDNEY CURE con-
tains all the best known agents used by
kidney and bladder specialists combined
In a manner that renders them most effec-
tive and pleasant to take. In even the most
hopeless cases its use gives relief and
when taken in time cannot help but cure
every form of kidney or bladder trouble.
