No time should be lost in the treatment of it, and for this purpose no medicine has re­ ceived more universal approval than Chamberlaiu's Cough Reniady. Do not waste valuable time in experimenting with untried remedies, no matter how highly they may be recommended, but give this medicine as iiirected and all symptoms of croup will quickly disap­ pear.

OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE DID NOT HEED VARNINGS This Is the verdict that shouM be ren­ dered in so many cases of death from kid­ ney diseases. A slight disorder, which oould have been easily cured, Is neglected and terminates In Bright'a Disease or Diabetes. Most of these victims could have 1MM saved by taking FOLBT'S KIDXXY Coma, as It positively will cure any ease «t kid­ ney or bladder disease If tekea la ttsaa, but It cannot make new kidneys for jam. 8o don't riBk life and health by delay tat take FOLEY'S KIDXET CURE at once. Diseased kidneys injure all of the er» gans as they then fall to eliminate polsooe from the blood whioh accounts for the many different symptoms of this dlteeM. FOLET'S KXDHET Cuaa makes the kid­ neys right and the attendant ills quickly disappear. Watch your kidneys, as you maybe drifting toward's Bright'a Disease; and, remember, that the work of destruction goes on constantly, aud if you have rea­ sons to believe your kidneys or bladder are affected, you should take Fount KIDNEY CURB at once and remove all i possibility of fatal results. SBYMOTTB WEBB, of Molra, N.Y^writast MI had been troubled with my kidneys for twenty-five years and had tried sever­ al physicians but received no relief until I bought a bottle of FOLEY'S KIDHBT CUBE. After using two bottles I WM absolutely cured. I earnestly recommend FOLEY'S KIDHEY CUU." : G. W. BESLEY.
