The Death-rate of

Our country is getting to be fear
fully alarming, the average Of life
being lessened every year without
any reasonable cause, death resulting
generally from the most insignificant
origin. At this season Of the year
especially, cold is such q common
thing that in the hurry of every day
life we are apt to overlook the dam
gers attending it and often find too
late that fever or lung trouble has
already set in. Thousands lose their
lives in this way every winter, while
had B0Schee's German Syrup been
taken, a cure would have resulted,
and large bill from a doctor been
avoided. For all diseases Of the
Throat and Lungs, Boschee's German
Syrup has proven itself to be the
greatest discovery of its kind in medi-
cine. Every Druggist in this
country will tell you of its wonder
full effect. Over 100000 bottles sold

The lands now in the area Of Essex
