The laws of health are taught in the
schools; but not in a way to be of
much practical benefit and are never
illustrated by living examples, which
in many cases might be easily done.
If some scholar who has just contract
ed cold was brought before the
school so that all could hear the dry,
loud cough and know its significance;
see the thin white coating on the
tongue and later as the cold developed
see the profuse watery expectoration
and thin watery discharge from the
nose, not one of them would ever for
get what the first symptoms of cold
were. The scholar should then be
given Chamberlsin's Cough Remedy
freely, that all might see that even
severe cold could be cured in one or
two days, or at least greatly mitigated,
when properly treated as soon as the
first symptoms appear. This remedy is
famous for its cures of coughs, colds
and Group. 1t is made especially for
these diseases and is the most prompt
and most reliable medicine known for
the purpose. 25 and so cent bottles

The Columbia Daily Calendar

remains the only valuable daily pad
calendar. The calendar for '93 is of
the same general design as that of pre-.
vious years, consisting of 386 leaves,
one for every day in the year and a
calendar for the entire year. The day
of the week. of the month, and of the
year are given, and on each leaf is a
short sermon on the "Gospel of Out
doors, Health, and Happiness with
valuable hints on practical road max
ing. The leaves are so arranged that
there will be no stub left, and each one
can be referred to at any time during
the year. The pad is upon metallic
stand of ivory black, arranged so as to
rest upon the desk at a convenient
angle. The pad matter, which in the
aggregate is enough to make a book, is
all fresh and new, and is of more per.
tinent value than that of any previous
calendar. The calendar is issued by
the Pope Mfg. Co., of Boston, New
York, and Chicago.
