OFT OF THE ORDINARY RUN.


Good reader. here Is something which may
ssem to you somewhat extraordinary, which
Il certainly is, and if you happen to be q
parent with two or three children who have
whooplng cough 1t VIII De all the more
worthy OF your attention.
By the way, a child with the w~hooping-
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 tie 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
yonngstar o. mas to ehiure them
It so hap - that a good many years
ago the wr had three whooping-cough
children. who were. all at one time, afflicted
xfth this disagreeable disease.
You know that the physicians say hal
they cannot stop this strange and cruel
cough. They can only alleviate 1t. Inc
cough must, according TO their idea. run its
But a, 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,
HWell, l engaged his services; and he ad-
ministered sundry potions and things, |
know not what, to those three suffering
children His treatment did them no man
&ner of good whatsoever. They coughed ana
lcoughed on, until they had coughed their little
coughs completely out-the full term
Therefore, when l hear Of child's whoop

can about it. !.
So went to Mrs. c. G. Wheeler, $50 Island
avenue, Milwaukee. and asked her to tell me
about her little girl.
'It was said Mrs. Wheeler, "a genuine
case of whoopipg- cough. 1t was about two
years ago, when my little girl was six years
? old. Some years before that | had lost a
little boy Will lung disease, which came up
on him as a consequence of scarlet fever. |
feared from the symptoms that this child
was going in the same way. But | found
that the symptoms changed into a well-de-
veloped case of whooplng-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. l 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
its own course. Whooping-cough seems tc
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 hei
strength. Browns Iron Bitters was recon-
mended to me by some friends who had used
it. I gave it to her, and YOU may imagine
how much | was astonished With the result
The disposition to voInit 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 a few day
more they stopped. The cough itself abated
and in about q week, | think, from the tim,
the child first took the Bitters, there was nc
more cough to be heard, except something
that was both occasional and faint.
81 cannot express to you" continued Mrs
Wheeler, chow 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 t
her, and her appetite, which, during her i'll
ness, had been very capriclous,, became a
hearty as ever. She is now in e1cellen
health, and is at school.
81 will say just one thing more" she
a aided" eve lave oil been using this medi
cine as a tonic in my family. 1t has don
wonders for US, keeping us all in good healtl
and appetite, whereas otherwise We shoul
nave been down sick"
There are thousands of families in whicl
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 Brown Iron Bitters for lung trouble an
dyspepsia than any other medicine she eve
tried.
Miss Susie Lacy, 121 Julia st. Jacksonville
Fla, says: took Browns Iron Bitters IL
liver and kidney trouble and it permanent
cured me.
DR.. j. NJ. Klein, WATERFORD, S.. c., say
Browns Iron Bitters is famous in this local
ty and has given universal satisfaction.
