The Sound Sleep Of Good Health.

The restorative power Of sound sleep
cannot be over estimated and any all
ment that prevents it is a menace to
health. J. L. Southers, Eau Claire,
Wis, says: "For a long time I have
been unable to sleep soundly nights,
because of pains across my back and
soreness of my kidneys. My appetite
was very poor and my general condi-
ton was much run down. I have been
taking Foley's Kidney Pills but a short
time and now sleep as sound as rock.
| eat and enjoy my meals, and my
general condition is greatly improved.
l can honestly recommend Foley's
Kidney Pills sas I know they have
cured me- For sale by all druggists.
