Woman’* Kidneys. Women a;e more often afflicted with kidney disorders than men, but attribute the symptons to diseases peculiar to their sex, while in reality the kidneys are deranged. Neivousness, headache, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, pain in the back, are signs of •kidney trouble that must not be ignored, or a serious malady will result. Foley’s Kidney Cure has restored the health of thousands of weak, nervous, broken down women. It stops the irregularities and strengthens the urinary organs. It purifies the blood and benefits the whole system. Sold by A. F. Long.
