HOW MEN DIE.

If we know all the methods of APP
proach adopted by an enemy we are the
better enabled TO ward off the dam er and
postpone the moment when surrender be
comes inevitable. In many instances the
inherent strength of the body sufiices to
enable it to oppose the tendency toward
death. Many however have lost these
forces TO such an extent that there is lit
tie or no help. In other cases little aid
to the weakened Lungs will make all the
difference between sudden death and
many years of useful life. Upon the first
symptoms of a Cough Cold or any trouble
Of the Throat or Lungs, give that old and
well known remedy-Boschee's German
Syrup, a careful trial. 1t will prove what
thousands say of it to be, the "benefac-
tor of any home.
