A Warming.

The modes of deaths approach are vari-
Gus, and statistics show conclusively that
more persons die from diseases of the throat
and lungs than any other. 1t is probable
that everyone, without exception, receives
vast numbers of tubercle germs into the
system, and where these germs fall upon
suitable soil they start into life and develop,
at first slowly, and is shown by a slight
tickling sensation in the throat, and if al
lowed to continue their ravages they ex-
tend to the lungs, producing consumption
and to the head, causing catarrh. Now all
this is dangerous and if allowed to proceed
will in time cause death AT the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing a cold
to go without attention is dangerous and
may lose you your life. As soon as you
feel that something is wrong with your
throat lungs or nostrils obtain bottle of
Boschee's German Syrup. 1t will give you
immediate relief.
