DEATH grumblesat them, and for the very good
reason that they make serious inroads into his
weekly bills. What does Death grumble at Why
of course at Peters unrivalled Medicated Lozenges
which tone the system and resist disease, and cure
headaches, coughs sea-sickness, dyspepsia, worms,
nausea and low spirits, in most incredibly short
space of time A headache for instance in five min
utes a cough or cold in day--worms in three,
and so on. One or two quack vendors Of Lozenges
gruinble as well as death, but ts no use to them,
far in spite of all they can say or do, people will
prefer living to dying, and so Peters Lozenges go
