WEEDS Consumption is a human weed flourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young; when old, sometimes im­ possible. Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest. The time to treat consump­ tion is when you begin trying to hide it from yourself. Others see it, you won't Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any\ longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion. If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget it and be better for the treatment. If it is consump­ tion you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat­ ment you will win. 1 Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment We will send you a little of the Emul­ sion free.

There arc thousands of persons who ari ' unconsciously in danger of the fate that has lately befallen so many of our most prominent men and women who havedMI from kidney trouble. These disease* art alarmingly on the increase, and they come ou so insidiously that few realize their condition till life la actually in danger.. In the early stages of kidney disease there may be headache, backache, no- natural appetite, bad taste in the month, dry or furred tongue, thirst, dry skin ar strong perspiration, sediment in the urlna^ or unnatural feelings in various parts of the body. Don't expect all these sigaa to show themselves. As soon as yoa notice any of them, commence at onoe the use of FOLEY'S KIDNEY CUBS. THOKAS MAPLE, Blrbeck, 111., writes l MI had a very bad case of kidney trouble and my back pained me so I could nol straighten up. The doctor's treatment did me no good. I saw FOLEY'S Kroim CURB advertised and took one bottle which cured me and I have not been affected since. I gladly recommend this remedy." It Is a simple thing to make your Idd* neys right when they are not badly affect- ed; but It is not so easy after destruction has set in. FOLEY'S KIDKST CURB will cure every form of kidney and bladder trouble if taken early and it will give re* lief even in the most hopeless cases, ft Is an honest preparation and will da that Is claimed for it.
