Iood reader, here is something which may
seem to you somewhat extraordinary, which
It certainly is, and il you happen to be a
parent with two or three children who have
whooping-cough it Will be all the more
worthy Of your attention.
BY the way, a child with the whooping-
cough is not a " wellspring Of joy" in the
house. The vocal exercises of such q child,
even though very attractive, are by no
means delightful, either to the child itself or
child in coughing and choking and strang-
ling and vomiting. are sometimes dreadful
to see, as they must be dreadful to the poor
youngster who mas to endure them.
1t SO happened that q good many years
ago the writer had three w~hooping-cough
children, VIII were, all at one time. afflicted
with this disagreeable disease.
YOU know that the physicians say that
they cannot stop this strange and cruel
cough. They can only alleviate it. The
cough must, according to their idea. run its
whole course.
But q physician was introduced to me who
boldly announced his ability to cure the dis
ease and stop the cough, most definitely and
positively. Other doctors could alleviate.
He, more Skillful than they, according to his
own account, could put an end to the whole
business.
Well. I engaged his services; and he ad-
ministered sundry potions and things, I
know not what, to those three suffering
children. His treatment did them no man
ner of good whatsoever. They coughed and
coughed on, until they had coughed their little
coughs completely out-the full term
Therefore,. when I hear of a child's whoop-
ing cough having been stopped before the
end Of its full term 1 want to find out all I
can about it.
So l went to Mrs. c. G.. Wheeler, 500 Island
avenue, Milwaukee. and asked her to tell me
"It was" said Mrs. Wheeler, "a genuine
case Of whooping-cough. 1t was about two
years age, when my little girl was six years
old. Some years before that I had lost .
little boy with lung disease, which came up
feared from the symptoms that this child
was going in the same way. But I found
that the symptoms changed into q well-Je-
was very weak, and with the straining and
the coughing, which were worry severe, I
feared she would work some injury to her
self. I had two doctors fcT her, but they did
not give her much relief. So we let the doc
tors go, and for q little while let nature take
It's own course. Whooping- cough seems to
be a disease which does best when let alone.
But the child was now so weak that a tonic
Of some kind was plainly needed to give her
strength. Browns Iron Bitters was recon-
mended to me by some friends who had ussI
it. I gave it to her, and you may imagine
how much was astonished with the result.
The disposition to vomit grew less and les,
frightful s~trangling and choking which gen
orally accompany the cough were within a
few days greatly modified, and in q few DAYS
moro they stopped. The cough itself abated,
and in about a week, I think, from the time
the child first took tho Bitters, there was no
more cough to be heard, except something
that was both occasional and faint.
IL cannot express to you" continued Mrs.
Wheeler, show great Is my satisfsotisn with
this medicine. The child was soon restored
to health by its use. Her strength, which
had almost entirely gone away, returned to
her, and her appetite, which, during her i'll.
ness, had been very capricious, became az
hearty as ever. She is now in excellent
health, and is at school.
~ will say just ono thing MORE" she
added" ave have all been using this medi-
wonders for us, keeping US all in good health
and appetite. whereas otherwise we should
have been down sick
There are thousands Of families in which
Browns Iron Bitters has been Just as valua-
bio as in that Of Mrs Wheeler. For the dis
eases OF children as we'll as Of their parents,
and, in fact, for every class and condition Of
men, women and children, IL Ia tho great
family medicine.
Here is hat some Of our n%eighbors say
about it.:
Mra J. P. walkup, Monroe, N. c., says:
I suffered for years with palpitaton Of Tho
heart, dyspepsia and liver complaint Teok
Browns Iron Bitters and experienced such
relief that I now recommend 1t in preference
to all other medicine.
DR.. w. }. Newbill, Carriers Creek, Va,
says: I found Browns Iron Bitters ono OF
the very best tonics and appetixera I pre-
scribe it extensively In my practice.
Mr.. Chas. j. H. Gautsr, Manchester, Md,
says: I have used Browns Iron Bitters for
neuralgia and 1t has made q perfect cure
