Thousands more die every year from diseases Incurred by riding on the cars than from accidents. Life itself is often the price that must be paid by such per­ sons as railroad conductors, engineers, brakemen, commercial travelers and others who spend the greater part of their lives on the cars. Their fate is kidney trouble of some kind. Constant motion Jars the kidneys that are kept In place in the body by del­ icate attachments and causes Diabetes, Albuminuria, Bright's Disease, Train­ men's Disease and all other kidney troubles. During recent years traveling men have been informing one another of the bene­ fits they can secure by using FOLEY'S KIDNEY CUBE. It is a compound of the best agents known to kidney specialists sgjd as a cure for all kidney troubles it has never been equaled. Reports have been received of remarkable cures effect­ ed by it, and even the worst and most hopeless cases have been greatly relieved by its use. GEO. H. HAITSAH, of Lima, Ohio, writes as follows: " I am a locomotive engineer on the L. E. & W. R. R. Constant vibra­ tion of the engine caused me a great deal of trouble with my kidneys, and I got no relief until I used FOLEY'S KIDNEY CUBE, and I gladly recommend it to trainmen who are generally afflicted as I was.* Makes the fires of life born with a steady glow.
