Climatic Cures
The influence of climatic conditions
in the cure of consumption is very much
overdrawn The poor patient too can
do much better at home by proper at
tention to food digestion and a regular
use of German Syrup Free expectora
tion in the morning is made certain by
German Syrup so is a good nights rest
and the absence of that weakening
cough and debilitating night cough
sweat Restless nights and the exhaus
tion due to coughing the greatest dan
ger and dread of the consumptive can
be prevented or stopped by taking Ger
man Syrup liberally and regularly
Should you be able to go to a warmer
climeyou will find that of the thousands
of consumptives the few who are bene
fited and regain strength are those who
use German yrup Trial bottles 25c
