Ilealthy 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 the 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 trial bottles, 25c; large size, 75c. At all druggists._ No Secret About It.

Benedict._ 44-tf 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.
