Physicians, or sold by Druggists, that
carries such evidence of its success and
superior virtue as BosCIIEE's GERMAN
SYRUP for severe Coughs, Colds settled on

of the Throat and Lungs, proof of that
fact is that any person afflicted can get a

superior effect before buying the regular

duced in this country from Germany, and
