DIR. Frank S. Billings, Of Nebraska,
the investigator Of infectious diseases
among animals, has demonstrated that
Texas Fever comes from Texas ticks.
He has cultivated these ticks and killed
cattle by inoculating them with the
virus. This shows how subtle these
germs are and how careful people
ought to be in guarding against in
fectious ma.adies. So it is in lung
troubles. There is no doubt that con-
sumption Isas been communicated
from one person to another and while
the experiments Of DR.. Koch have not
been entirely successful, yet enough
has been demonstrated to prove that
the baccii do make the disease. In
this emergency the best remedy that
has yet been found is REID'S GER
MAN COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE.
It will exterminate the germs that
make the malady and that cause the
disease. II contains no poison but
acts at once and will stop the worst
cough and heal the worst cold. Fol-
sale by all druggists.
