came to light not long since, which is
thus related: Going into a neighbours
house. one day last week, Ifound one
of the children suffering from severe
cough, and expressed my opinion that

tancc should be obtained. The moth
er of the boy agreed that it was very
bad, but before calling in a docter
she intended to try cure that she had
long used in similar cases, and never
found to fail. On being pressed to
communicate the prescription. she
gravely informed me that the charm
Consisted in. Hale's Honey of Hore-
hound and Tar, and that it could be

chasing large size. Sold by all drug
