Weak, Inactive Kidneys Cause
Much Trouble
Backache, rheumatism, and all kidney and bladder disorders
are caused from weak inactive kidneys, which fail to filter out
the poisons, and keep the blood pure. The only way to
positively and permanently cure such troubles is to remove
the cause. The reason why Foley Kidney Pills are the best
medicine for kidney and bladder troubles is because they are
pade wholly of those healing, strengthening and restorative
egredients that nature needs to build up and renew these im-
Wjrtant and vital organs. See that you get Foley Kidney Pills
Ir your kidney and bladder troubles. They are tonic in action,
quick to give good results, and contain no harmful drugs.

TONSIL DISEASES
STITJHILDBEN
Georgia Health Board Oeacribes Tar*
rible Results of Disease if Not
Properly Treated.
Atlanta, Ga. —If one of your chil
dren Is backward in Its studies or
sickly looking, get a physician to look
at Its tonsils at once, is the advice
given by the Georgia State Board of
Health. The whole trouble may be
there. A chronic or acute disease of
the tonsils is a serious and dangerous
thing.
The enlarged tonsils may permanent
ly stunt the child’s physical growth
and retard its mental development.
The State Board of Health urges pa
rents whose children are so suffering,
to have them examined and operated
on, if necessary, by a skilled phyai
clan or surgeoit. Operations In near
ly all cases result ip complete cures,
while failure to operate may leave an
otherwise normal child stupid and
sickly through life.
Many a boy or girl has been put
down as lazy and “good-for-nothing,"
and has been unjustly punished at
home and at school, when the real
trouble was nothing but enlarged ton
sils. ,
Other children suffering in the same
way have sometimes been considered
half-witted because of the open-hang
ing mouth and silly expression, which
often results from the obstructed pass
ages in the throat and nose —their
whole life marred for the lack of a
comparatively simple operation. The
parent who falls to Inquire into such
symptoms and to have tile child prop
erly treated, is guilty of neglect that
is almost criminal.
Is a Contagious Disease.
The second most important thing
for the public to realize about tonslll
tis, says the Board, is the fact that
acute tonsilitis is contagious, and that
patients suffering from it should be
isolated and some precautions taken
to prevent its spread, as are done in
case of other contagious diseases. One
case of acute tonsilitis may not justi
fy an operation. It is in chronic cases
or in cases where the acute form re
curs frequently, that operations are
Absolutely necessary.
In addition to the acute and chronic,
there is also a third common form of
the disease, called suppurative tonsi
litis or quinsy.
Acute tonsilitis frequently comes on
rather suddenly. Children and young
adults are most susceptible. The pa
tient may first complain of sore throat
with a feeling of swelling in the throat,
or may first feel chilly or even have
a decided chill, soon followed by ach
ing of the limbs and back and violent
headache. These symptoms may be so
severe that the patient may feel like
he is going to have a very serious ill
ness. The temperature rapidly rises
and may reach 103 degrees to 105 de
grees within a very few hours. The
odor of the patient’s breath is very
foul, and unless the room is well ven
tilated the odor may fill the room. An
examination of the throat shows the
tonsils and neighboring tissues to be
swollen and congested. The tonsils
may be so greatly swollen as to touch
each other, and they may be covered
by a grayish substance that may re
semble the membrane which Is pres
ent in cases of diphtheria. The glands
in the neck usually become swollen
and painful, and the neck muscles feel
sore and stiff.
Symptoms of Quinsy.
In suppurative tonsilitls, or quinsy,
the local symptoms In the throat cause
the greatest amount of distress, al
though the general symptoms named
above may also be present. In quinsy,
pus forms in and around the tonsil.
Usually only one tonsil Is affected. It
may become greatly swollen and seri
ously Interfere with the patient’s
breathing and his ability to swallow.
The patient opens his mouth with con
siderable difficulty as every movement
of the jaw causes great pain. In quin
sy the tonsil is seldom covered by the
membrane as In the follicular form
or as in diphtheria. Instead the tonsil
is usually smooth and shining in ap
pearance.
In acute tonsilitls and In quinsy a
bacteriological examination should be
made of the throat and the patient
kept in isolation, until it is determin
ed whether or not the inflammation is
caused by the germ of diphtheria. The
State Board of Health’s laboratories
will make these examinations free of
charge upon request.
In the chronic form of tonsilitls,
there is no danger of spreading the
disease, but it is this form which per
manently injures the health and mind
of the patient. Children are the most
frequent sufferers. The tonsils some
times become so large that they touch
each other; there is usually nasal ca
tarrh, sometimes earache and deaf
ness; the child usually breathes with
its mouth open. This not only gives
the child a silly expression, but is
harmful because air taken through the
mouth instead of the nose is not prop
erly sifted of dust and germs. The
nose fails to develop and its small
ness adds to the stupid expression of
the unfortunate child. As the result
of the difficulty in breathing, the
chl.d's growth is stunted and the chest
often becomes deformed. Such un
fortunates are apt to catch any other
contagious diseases which are about
They are especially liable to tubercu
losis and diphtheria. There is no po
sible excuse for letting a child con
tinue to suffer such dreadful results,
for an operation is usually attended
with no danger and children improve
rapidly to an absolutely surprising de

from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock

years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, I could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, I would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me for a while, but I was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.

I had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and I gave up In despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I com
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, I could tel! it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing all my work.”
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of continuous success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom
mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.' f
