Flealthy Mothers.
Mothers should always keep in good
% bodily health. They owe it to their
children. Yet it is no unusual sight
to see a mother, with babe in arms,
coughing violently and exhibiting all
tbe symptoms of a consumptive ten
dency. And why should this danger
ous condition exist, dangerous alike to
mother and child, when Dr. Bochee’s
German Syrup would put a stop to it
once? No mother should be without
this old and tried remedy in the house
—for its timely use will promptly cure
any lung, throat or bronchial trouble
in herself or her children. The worst
cough or cold can be speedily cured by
German Syrup; so can hoarseness and
congestion of the bronchial tubes. It
makes expectoration easy, and gives
instant relief and re-freshing rest to
the cough-racked consumptive. New

No Secret About It.
It is no secret, that for Cuts, Burns,

A Continual Strain
Many men and women are constant
ly subjected to what they commonly
term “a continualy strain” because of
some financial or family trouble. It
wears and distresses them both men
tally and physically, affecting their
nerves badly and bringing on liver and
kidney ailments, with the attendant
evils of constipation, loss of appetite,
sleeplessness, low vitality and despon
dency. They cannot, as a rule, get rid
of this “continual strain,” but they
can remedy its healthdestroying effects
by taking frequent doses of Green’s
August Flower. It tones up the liver,
stimulates the kidneys, insures
healthy body functions, gives vim and
spirit to one’s whole being, and event
ually dispels the physial or mental
distress caused by that “continual
strain.” Trial bottle of August
Flower 25c; regular size, 75c. At all

the same. If it is kindly interest in

it necessary will enlighten the
