Never Ask Advice. When you have a cough or cold don't ask what is good for it and get some medicine with little or no merit and perhaps dangerous.

DRINKIN6 HARD WATER Liable io Result In Gravel or St In the Kidneys and Bladder. HOW TO AVOID DANGER. Persons who drink hard water are vwf liable to have gravel or stones form to the kidneys or bladder and cause mast excruciating agony. As nearly all ordi­ nary drinking water contains lime in some form and is consequently what SB termed ,:hard," the danger to persons witb weak kidneys, is readily realized. Keep the kidneys right and they will completely strain out all the mineral mat­ ter from the water which passes through them. The best way to do this is'to strengthen those organs by the use of FOLEY'S KIDNKY CUBE. It not only pre* vents the formation of gravel and stones, but will, in most cases, dissolve them when already formed and save the pais and expense of surgical operations. A. H. THURNESS, manager of Wills Creek Coal Co., of Buffalo, O., writes:a £ have been afflicted with kidney and blad­ der trouble for years, passing gravel or stones with excruciating pains. Other medicines only gave relief. After taking FOLEY'S KIDNKY CORE the result was sur­ prising. A few doses started the bride dust like fine'stones, etc., and now 1 ham no pain across my kidneys and I feel Ilk* a new man. FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURS hat done me f1000 worth of good." FOLEY'S KIDNEY CCRE IS an honest preparation and if taken early can be re­ lied upon to cure every form of kidney or bladder trouble. It prevents the develop* ment of fatal diseases and will give relief in even the most hopeless cages. , '•if* '•'i ."•M m 1 N. H.
