1t Has Stood the Test.

A great many people fancy
that a cough cure cannot have
any effect upon the kidneys
this is an error. A cold, when
it settles upon the kidneys, can
be as easily cured by Reid's
German Cough and Kidney
Cure as when it is seated upon
the lungs; nor does the patient
have to wait long to ascertain
the result. The effect is imme-
diate, and relief is obtained
from one or two doses. The
testimony upon this point comes
from so many sources that il
cannot be disputed. Some of
these cases are extraordinary,
and show that kidney trouble
Of years standing has been en-
tirely relieved by few bottles
of Reid's German Cough and
Kidney Cure. Kidney trouble
that comes from strain cannot
be relieved except by lest and
time; nor can diabetes be cured
except by dieting, living upon
skinned milk, cabbage, gluten
bread, and carefully avoiding
all starchy foods and sugar.
When patient has this malady
it is hardly a question of curing
him, but only of prolonging his
life. In ninety nine cases out
of an hundred the malady
comes from a cold If neglect
ed, it will lead to serious results;
if attended to by taking Reid's
German Cough and Kidney
Cure, the sufferer is at once re-
stored to health. The time to
attend to these matters is when
the difficulty first makes its ap-
pearance. After the disease is
seated it is much harder to
make headway against it, For
this reason every family ought
to keep a bottle Of Reid's Ger,
man Cough and Kidney Cure
In the house so that at The first
appearance of disease it can be
guarded against. 1t is the
ounce of prevention that is
worth the pound of cure always.
