Domestic JOY.

The charm of domestic joy will be
preserved, if those parents, who fear
the early death Of one of their loved
ones when attacked with q serious
throat or lung trouble, resort at once
to DR.. Bulls Cough Syrup, aneyer-fall-
ing remedy. 81 used Dir. Bulls Cough
Syrup for my son, who was eight years
old. He has been troubled with bron-
chial cough since he was two and half
years of age, and 1 have tried every
thing, but found DIR. Bulls Cough
Syrup does him the most good" Mrs.
A. Geib, 3l7 Demott St., West Hobo
ken, NJ. DR.. Bulls Cough Syrup costs
only 25 cents, and is cheaper than the
dealers big profit making substitute,
because DR.. Bulls Cough Syrup always
cures while the substitute does not.

Certainly, for The mechanic, human
ingenuity has never produced better
liniment than Salvation Oil,which now
stands unexcelled for curing his sprains
and bruises caused by fall; or cuts
and wounds the result of an accident
with his tool or saw. Salvation Oil al
ways kills pain. "Recently, I fell
about twenty feet and was very much
bruised on my leg and side, but after
bathing them with Salvation Oil the
bruises soon disappeared. think Sal
walton Oil is just the thing for sores
and bruises" A, Jacob Rice, $40
Church ST., Easton, Pa. Salvation Oil
may be bought anywhere for 25 cents.
Substitutes offered by dealers may cost
less II; hence, do less. Salvation Oil,
however, never dsappoints the user.
