distressing to ourselves. but to our friends
and those with whom We are brought into

night. We dissolved large tablespoonful

bier full Of cold water. With this We
gsrgled the throat most thoroughly just be-
fore meal time. The result has been that
during the entire winter we we're not only
free IRON coughs and colds. but the dry.
hacking coughs has entirely disappeared.
