COOK ON BLADDER TROUBLES Bladder troubles make life miserable M those who suffer from them, and tualecn they are promptly overcome they are cer­ tain to cause Borioua conditions. TnfUwu matlon of the bl&dder is becoming more and more common and when neglected it develops ulceration and this may be fol­ lowed by perforation and death. The Irri­ table condition that demands frequent evacuation during the night as well as day time, is a source of great mortification dl8comcomfort to old and young. Dr. Cook, of Chicago, an authority on kidney and bladder troubles, says: "It Is impossible to find a single agent that Is a specific for this class of troubles, because there are so many different struc­ tures involved in the organs. However, we are able to combine the best knowa remedies and obtain most excellent re* suits. The preparation known aa Fourrt Kidney Cubb Is an ideal combination. I use it ezensively in my practice and find It can be employed successfully in every form of kidney and bladder trouble." Foley's Kidhey Cube Is an honesl preparation. It is not a decootion of some hitherto unknown root or herb claimed to be a cure-all. Common sense tells ua that such preparations have but little If any value. Foley's Kidney Cb'kjb con* tains all the best known agents used by kidney and bladder specialists combined In a manner that renders them most effec­ tive and pleasant to take.
