What to Do When
Backache Conies on
s . 1
“Foley Kidney Fills have done me
more good than $150.00 worth of other
medicine,” writes Chas. XT. Fox of Him
rod, N. Y.
When backache comes on, and it seems
as if you can’t stand the pain and pres
sure in the small of your back and sides,
do not feel that you must continue to
suffer, but get a bottle of Foley Kidney
Pills and begin taking them. They
usually help from the very first doses.
It Is worth a good deal to you to know
Kidney Pills give you just
what your system needs to repair the
weak sick kidneys. It is their inability
to do their work properly that causes
your pain and misery. Foley Kidney
Pills lend to middle-aged and elderly
people the spryness and elasticity of
youth. They take away the cause of
backache, stiff and aching joints, rheu
matic pain* and annoying bladder and
urinary troubles. Try them today.

Mr. Watson
What has become of Mr. Thomas
E. Watson? We have heard from
some source that he has gone to
New York to enter a sanitarium. —
Savannah Press.
Mr. Watson is at his home in
Thompson. He was seen on the
streets of his home town only last
week. The death of his daughter
and his papers being suppressed
came as a great blow to Watson.
But here is an incident concerning
Watson : When the government
was behind him good and strong,
he wired the Attorney-General
that he was willing to cut out his
fight against the government and
go anywhere it wanted him—to
the Shara desert, if necessary.
Mr. Watson was exceedingly peni
tent, and promised to be real good
in the future. The Attorney-Gen
eral ignored him. It has been
predicted that Mr. Watson was
storing up ammunition to be ex
ploded after the war. But, in our
opinion, the country has seen the
last of Watson as an anti-govern
tnent extremist. —Greensboro Her
ald.
“Aren’t yqu ashamed of scold
ing so, Willie? Just see what a
sweet expression i’ommy Jones is
wearing.”
“Well, he has to wear it. He
has just thrown a rock through
the preacher’s window, and he’s
waiting now to make the preacher
believe it was done by a little b y
in a blue suit who ran down the
street.”
Old Soldier Gives Recommenda
tion.
Gustav Wangelin, Commander
of G. A. R. Post, Pinckueyville, 111.,
writes: “I highly recommend
Foley Kidney Pills, which I prefer
to all others I have used and con
sider them ‘Johnny on the spot’.”
Foley Kidney Pills give quick relief
from backache, rheumatic pains,
stiff, swollen joints, languidness,
pains in groin and muscles, all
other symptoms of kidney trouble
and sleep disturbing bladder ail
ments. They assist nature in re
storing strength and vitality. The

of the country than all other diseases

scribed local remedies, and by constant

local disease, greatly Influenced by con

feed itself but have something more for our sorely needing
friends across the Seas.
