It is strange, but it often happens. Somehow the ounce produces the pound; it seems to start the digestive machinery going prop- cr3y, so that the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food, whfch he could not do be­ fore, and that is the way the gain is made. A certain amount of flesh is necessary for health; if you have not got it you can get it by taking fmulslon You will find it just as useful in summer as in winter, and if you are thriving upon it don't stop because the weather is warm.

Watcli the Kidneys WHEN THKY ARC AFFECTED LIFE IS IN DANGER A WOLTD OF WARNINO Dr. ABERTTBTHY, the great English physician and surgeon, well known to all physicians, sounded words of warning to the medical profession and to all mankind when he uttered the words: " Watch the kidneys; when they are affected life is in danger." It is the duty of these organs to keep our blood strained of poisonous impurities that are capable of causing the most fatal forms of disease. When they do not per­ form their work properly, then trouble in some form is sure to follow sooner or later, and if neglected, death will follow. Some of the most important symptoms are, aching in the back or hips, swollen ankles, puffiness under the eyes, dry or furred tongue, unnatural appetite and great thiret, weakness and loss of weight, sediment or cloudiness in the urine, dry­ ness of the skin or strong perspiration, disorders of the stomach and liver. Au the above symptoms do not appear In any one case, and all kidney disorders will not present the same symptoms. There is nothing that so quickly and surely makes the kidneys right as FOLEY'S KIDNEY CUBE. It Is a preparation of the best known remedies uaed by the world's most celebrated kidney specialists. It is endorsed by physicians and used by thou­ sands. It has saved many lives, and| while it cannot cure hopeless cases, it will pre vent fatal kidney troubles and give relief In even the last stages of kidney disease. N. H. PETESCH.
