Good ADVICE.

Now is the time of year for Pneu-
monia, Lung Fever. etc Every family
should have a bottle of Boschee's Ger
man Syrup. Don't allow for one mo
ment that cough to take hold Of your
child, your family or yourself. Con
sumption, Asthma, Pneumonia, Group,
Hemorrhages, and other fatal diseases
may set in. Although it is true German
Syrup is curing thousands of these
dreaded diseases, yet it is much better
to have it at hand when three doses will
cure you. One bottle will last your
whole family a winter and keep you safe
from danger. If you are consumptive,
DO not rest until you have tried this
remedy Sample bottles 10 cents. Regu-
