THE PEOPLE will have their own way,
and indeed we do not wonder that every
one is bound to use Goes Cough Balsam,
and nothing else, for it is certainly the best
thing in the world for Coughs, Colds, Group
and Influenza. 1t is right that all should
use it. .-..
Goes Dyspepsia Cure, an article prepar-
ed by the same parties, is equally good for
Dyspepsia, Indigestion and Constipation,
Sick Headache, Sour Stomach, Rising of
Food, Cramps, Pains, and, in fact any dis
orders of the stomach and bowels.
