ood reader, hero Is something which may
seem to you somewhat extraordinary, which
1t certainly is. and If you happen to Be q
parent with two or three children who have
whooping-cough it will be all tbs more
worthy OF your attention
By the way, a child with the whooping-
cough IS not a " well-spring Of Joy" in the
house. The vocal exercises o. such q child,
even though very attractive, are by no
means delightful, either to the child ITSELF or
70 those VINO listen. The sufferings Of the
child in coughing and choking and strang-
Ing and vomiting, are sometimes dreadful
to see. as they must be d eaiful to tho poor
yolngstar who mas to endure them.
It so happened that a good many years
ago the writer had three whooping-cough
children. who We're. al a. one time, afflicted
with this disagreeabie disease
You know that the physicians say hat
they cannot stop this strange and cruel
cough. They can only alleviate it The
cough must, according to their idea, rua its
whole course.
But a physician was introduced to me who
boldly announced his ability to cure the dis
ease and stop thorough, most definitely and
positively. OtherNdoctors could alleviate.
He, more skillful than they, according to his
own account, could put an end to the whole
business.
fsWell, I engaged bis services; and he ad-
ministered sundry potlons and things, |
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 I want to find put all /
can about it
avenue, Milwaukee. and asked her to tell me
about her little pirl.
'It was,r said Mrs. Wheeler, "a genuine
case of whooping-cough. 1t was o two
years ago, when my little girl was six years
old. Some years before that I had lost a
little boy with lung disease, which came up,
on him as a consequence OF scarlet fever. l
feared from the symptoms that this child
was going in the same way. But I found
that the symptoms changed into q well-de-
veloped case of whooping-cough. The child
was very weak, and with the straining and
the coughing, which were very severe,
feared she would work some injury to her
self. had two doctors for her, but they did
not give her much relief. So We let the doc
tors go, and for a 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 q tonic
of some kind was plainly needed to give hel
strength Browns Iron Bitters was recon-
mended to me by some friends who had used
it. gave it to her, and you may imagine
how much | was aStOniShed with tho result
The disposition to vomit grew less and less,
and in a few days stopped altogether. That
frightful %strangling and choking which gen
orally accompany the cough were within q
few days greatly modified, and in q few day
more they stopped. The cough itself abated,
and in about q week, l think, from the time
the child first took the 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, 'how great is my satisfaction with
this medicine. The child was soon restored
to health by its use. Her strength, which
had almost entirely gone away, returned K
her, and her appetite, which, during her i'll
ness, had been very capricious,. became .

Il will say just one thing more" she
a lded." W. have all been using this medi
cine as a tonic in my family. It has don
wonders for us, keeping us all in good healtl
and appetite, whereas otherwise we shoult
have been down sick"
There are thousands Of families in which
Browns Iron Bitters has been just as valua
BILE as in that of Mrs. Wheeler, and they hav
testified to that fact. The following show
what it has done for our neighbors.
Mrs. Nancy Collier, Tuscaloosa, Ala, say
of Browns Iron Bitters for lung trouble an
dyspepsia than any other medicine she eve
tried.
Miss Susie Lacy, 12l Julia St. Jacksonville
Fla, says: I took Browns Iron Bitters fo
liver and kidney trouble and it permanent
cured me.
