Dieting.


Many remedies for Kidney
trouble prescribe a rigid system
Of dieting, and a total cessation
from coffee, tea, and kindred
beverages, with a long rule to
be observed, which. if violated,
will neutralize the effect of the
medicine. Now, it is danger
Gus for adults to suddenly alter
their habits of living. The sys-
tenn has become used to it and
any violent change is only apt
to bring dyspepsia, heart trou-
BILE or other arrangement of the
organs. In taking Reid's Ger
man Cough and Kidney Cure it
is simply necessary to be mod
crate. If you eat too much, eat
less, but do not starve yourself,
or ''knock off entirely" If you
drink too much, drink less,
whether it be coffee, tea, or any
other beverage. Then take the
cure according to directions and
it will heal you of your trouble.
This is especially true in sum-
mer. 1t is at this season of the
year that persons take cold
easily and lay the foundation
of subsequent diseases. A sud
den change in the weather, eX-
posure to showers, change of
clothing, sleeping in draughts
gives them a slight cold; they
neglect it, and when fall sets in
they are ready to be laid up
with cough, or they suffer from
pleurisy, or they have pain in
the back, or catarrh, or bron-
chitis. All these come from a
cold neglected. If at the begin
ing the sufferer will take Reid's
German Cough and Kidney
Cure according to directions he
can and will avoid these trou-
bles and escape any i'll effects
from the heats of summer, for it
is not only a safeguard against
cold, but it builds up the sys-
tenn and enables it to resist dis
ease.

nor ticks so far. You ask How are
the fleas?' They are al, quite well,
thank you, and there is an abun-
dance ofthem. While our city faith
ers do not allow stock of any kind
TO run at large on the streets vet
they allow the flea's favorite breeder
