Prostate Dangers Rally and Kidney Cure Endorsed

A safety warning notes many men over sixty face kidney and bladder disorders from enlarged prostrate glands. Foley's Kidney Cure is recommended at first signs, with a testimonial from 91 year old Rodney Burnett of Rockport Missouri praising its effect after two bottles. The piece also previews Standard Decision Saturday with Philippine elections, Judge Landis ruling on Standard Oil, Powers v. Goebel case, and a Chautauqua week on social unrest and politics. President Roosevelt’s Philippines pledge is linked to a general election, with a two year peace condition and a future assembly, while a massive potential fine looms in the Standard Oil case, and appeals are anticipated.
