Astonishing success.

It is the duty of every person who
has used BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP
to let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu-
monia, and in fact all throat and lung
diseases. No person can use it with
out immediate relief. Three doses
will relieve any case, and we consider
it the duty of all Druggists to recon-
mend it to the poor dying consump-
tive, at least to try one bottle, as
10000 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where it failed
was reported. Such a medicine as the
GERMAN SYRUP can not be too widely
known. Ask your Druggist about it.
Sample Bottles to try sold at 10 cents.
Regular size rs cents.
