Nearly everybody suffers, from rheumatism, backache, sides and back, kidney and bladder ailments. A backache may not mean anything serious, but it certainly does not mean anything good. It's better to be on the safe side and take Foley Kidney Pills to strengthen and invigorate the kidneys and help them their work.

They help rid the blood of acids and poisons. Sold by, Tames R. Roddick, Quality Drug store. dw. For correctly fitting glasses consult Dr.
