TO BUSINESS MEN.

The busy man oppressed
with care, having the details of
his calling to look after. and
having no time to devote to his
own personal concerns, is apt
to neglect his personal health.
But let the active business man
try ever so hard to forget him
self, there are some rules of
nature that won't forget him
This was the case with Crosby
White, a leading grocer in
Peoria Ee caught cold and
neglected it, and it settled on
his kidneys. In the hustle and
hustle of business he hoped
that it would wear away, but it
did not; on the contrary. this
is just what it did not do, and
at the end of three years Mr..
White was a very sick man.
In the meantime he had tri,d
everything, but every time he
took cold he grew a little
worse, and the malady settled
upon his kidneys. If he had
died, people would have said,
''he had Bright's disease of the
kidneys" But he heard of
Reid's German Cough and
Kidney Cure, and he began
taking it. To his surprise, for
he was wholly respondent, he
began getting we'll, and it was
not long before he was perfect
ly sound, and he is to this day.
Some sheer at the idea of a
Cough and Kidney Cure being
united in the same medicine,
this because most cough cures
contain opiates. which are
harmful to the kidneys. Reid's
German Cough and Kidney
Cure does not, but stimulates
the action Of the kidneys.
