German
Syrup"

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