Too Great a Risk.

In almost every neighborhood
someone has died from an attack of
collie or cholera morbus, often before
medicine could be procured or ply
stefan summoned. A reliable remedy
for these diseases should be kept at
hand. The risk is too great for any
one to take. Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera aud Diarrhooa Remedy has
undoubtedly saved the lives OF more
people and relieved more pain and
suffering than any other medicine in
use. 1t can always be depended upon.

Superstition is gradually dying down,
SO that few would be kept back by an

Saved FROM THE knife
Cal cura Solvent, DR.. Kennedy's New Msdl-
cine VIII Dissolve and Expel Stone and
Gravel from the System.

A surgical operation is no longer neces
sary for the removal of Stone and Gravel
from the Kidneys and Bladder, since the
qep medicine, Cal-cura Solvent, discovered
by the well-known physician and surgeon,
DR.. David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row,
Kingston, N. Y, quickly dissolves and
swiftly expels Stone, Red and White Grav-
ell, thus freeing the patient of the inhamma-
ton and pain, caused by the presence of
these lime formations. Better than all,
Cal-cura Solvent prevents the formation of
Stone and Gravel and all uric acid condi-
tons of the blood. The medical profess
sion has accepted and heartily endorsed
the principal upon which DIR. Kennedy
has based his claims for CaLcura SOL
vent.
Write to the Cal-cura Company, Kenne-
dy Row, Rondout, N. Y, for free sample
bottle.
Remember: Only one DIR. David Ken
needy ever lived in Rondout, City of Kings
ton, N. Y, and be sure you get his ne'o
and latest medicine, which is sold only in
$1.O0 bottles.
