A well known travelling man who visits
the drug trade says he has often heard
druggists inquire OF customers who
asked for a cough medicine, whether it
was wanted for a child or for an adult,
and if for child they almost invariably
recommend Chamber!ain's Cough Rem
edy. The reason for this is that they
know there is no danger from it and
that it always cures. There is not the
least danger in giving it, and for coughs,
colds and groups it is unsurpassed. For

Bright's disease, and similar internal

your symptoms, but fly for relief to Elec-

Cures Kidney and BIad-
der Diseases i'm Every
Form - Many People
Have Kidney Trouble
and DO Not Know 1t.
HOW TO FIND OUT.

1t is the function of the kidneys to filter
and purify the blood which is constantly
passing through them.
When the kidneys are out of order the
other organs are affected immediately
and you may have symptoms of heart
trouble, stomach and liver trouble, and
other ailments, which are all owing to the
kidneys being weak and out of order.
If you are sick FOIey's Kidney
Cure will strengthen and build up the
worn out tissues of the kidneys so they
will act properly and the symptoms of
weakness, heart, stomach and liver
trouble will disappear and you will be
restored to perfect health.
How 10 Tell II You Have Kidney Trouble.
You can easily determine if your kid
neys are out of order by setting aside for
"a hours bottle of the urine passed
upon arising. If upon examination it is
cloudy or milky or has brick-dust sed.
iment or small particles float about in if.
your kidneys are diseased and FOIey's
Kidney Cure should be taken at once.
FOIey's kidney Cure is pleasant to
take and acts directly upon the parts
affected and you begin to feel better
at once.
1t corrects slight disorders il. a few
days and it has cured many obstinate
cases after other treatment had failed.
Doctors Said He Would Not Live.
Peter Frey, of Woodruff, Pa, writes:
After doctoring for two years with the
best physicians in Waynesburg, and still
getting worse, the doctors advised me IL
l had any business to attend to had bet
ter attend to It at once, as / could not
possibly live another month, as there was
no cure for me. Foley's kidney Cure
was recommended to me by a friend. and
| Immediately sent my son to the store
for it and after taking three bottles I be-
gan to get better and continued TO i'm.
