A CERTAIN RELIEF.

Many aged people suffer

chest and a sense of a dull un-
comfortable pain in the side
They carry this about year
after year, sometimes feeling
better and sometimes worse.
but never being able to throw
it entirely off. They fancy
that it is one of the accompani
ments of old age which they
must perforce put up with as
best as they can This need
not be the case. all of these
symptoms are simply the result
of inflammation more or less
pronounced OF tn air passages
of tn. lungs, and of the thin
embran- that constitutes their
lining. They can be relieved
by taking Reid's German
Cough and Kidney Care. 1t is
the best remedy TOR old age
that was ever discovered be-
cause it is in itself stimulating
and muir ,tious and aids the en-
feebled digestive organs to re-
gain their former tone.
