YOUR HEALTH.

The citadel of life must he guarded
At two points. In the first place there
is the danger of taking cold. We take
cold through the skin and this affects
the kidneys and the lungs. So init
mately are these organs connected,
that a cold affects both. In order to
relieve the system, both should be
treated, or rather the whole system
should be regulated. This is done by
Reds German Cough and Kidney
Cure. 1t acts as a stimulant and re-
stores the organs to action. The,
other weak spot is the digestion.
When the food does not digest, it &C.
cumulates and causes fever, sickness
and death. The Laxative Gum Drops
will remove all waste material from
the system and do it without pain or
gripping. Ask your druggist for these
remedies and see that he gives them
to you. 49,.
