Syrup

Here is an incident from the South
Mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. Il am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning of last
Winter was on a trip to the City
of Eicksburg, Miss. where I got well
drenched i'll a shower of rain. l
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day. until had
to seek relief. consulted DR. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get Get d bottle Of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and l caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. 1
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, l was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me SO long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since"
