Recently interviewed, he says:--"I have suffered a longtime with kidney and bladder trouble and have used several tfell known -kidney medi­ cines, all of which gave me no relief un­ til 1 started taking Foley's Kidney Pills. Before I used Foley's Kidney Pills I was subjected to severe backache and pains in my kidneys with suppression and oftentimes a elondy voiding.

I am never bothered with my kidneys or bladder and once more feel like my own self. All this I owe solely to Foley's Kidney Pills and always recommend them to my fellow sufferers."
