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
danger and postpone the moment
when surrender becomes inevitable.
In many instances the inherent
strength of the body suffices to enable
it to oppose the tendency toward
death. Many however have lost these
forces to such an extent that there is
little or no help. In other cases a
little aid to the weakened Lungs will
make all the difference between sud
den 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 aud
well known remedv-Boschees Ger
man Syrup, careful trial. 1t will
prove what thousands say oft to be,
