Pains and Aches
Caused by Kidneys

Many women attribute ailments
and suffering to some disease pecu-
liar to their sex, when often the
pain and misery is caused by weak
or deranged kidneys. Housework,
Office work or factory work may
start the trouble, and dizzy spells,
pufiness under eyes, sore muscles,
stir joints, discolored or scanty urine,
sleep disturbing bladder ailments,
rheumatism or diabetes may result I
When the kidneys are strong and
healthy they filter out from the blood
the poisonous waste matter. When
they are sluggish or overworked they
need a medicine to clean them out
and invigorate action. Foley Kidney.
Pills are prepared expressly for the
purpose Of dissolving all poisonous
substances and uric acid that lodge
In the joints and muscles and to
cleanse and strengthen stopped-up,
inactive kidneys. Thousands OF men
and women in all parts of the county

tory results they have had from take
