A HOME REMEDY
For the Cure of Colds and
La Grippe.

La grippe and influenza, cold in TIL
head or on the lungs, are not only did
tressing maladies, but are very dangeI
Gus as we'll. Cold on the chest is an ir|
tlammation affecting the air-passages AMI
vessels leading into and through ever|
portion of the lungs. The inflammatioI
may be 50 violent as to cause death in
short time if not quickly reduced. or
may linger and drag as bad cold d
more or less severity. What is true of
cold is equally true of la grippe. Even
mild condition is liable TO turn QuicklI
into acute pneumonia, or what is worsd
galloping consumption. The breathinI
tubes become so sensitive that the lea9
exposure. the slightest draught. chang
of clothing, or of the weather, is sufficlen
TO cause fresh cold, terrible cough, pail
and fever. Cough is the foremost symI
tom, and il may be harsh and dry, or loos
and broken with much expectoratiou
1t is always annoying, keeping up con
slant irritation and excitement in tn
sore and inflamed tubes. There is pai
and tenderness under the breast-bOne
some times of raw and tearing nature
HoaTseness. huskiness. whispering or los
of voice. chilly sensations, sore throat
aching Joints and catarrh of the head
As the disease advances there are nigh
sweats, hectic fever, loss of flesh, spittinl
of blood or hemorThage, and the patien
has the appearance and symptoms of con
sumption. The old way of treating
cold is too well known to need any ex
PLANTATION here; the new way-the bette
way-is with Lightning Hot Drops
This remedy is especially valuable il
colds, la grippe, influenza, coughs
hoarseness, erc. Indeed, for la gripp
and influenza it may truly be said to be
specific, while for breaking a cold or re
lieving Eoarseness ii is without an equal

"What right has the Christian father
or the temperance father to squeal when
the saloon keeper makes drunkards of
his sOns?''
None"
"Why?"
because they sold to the saloon keep

work needed to get his money back with

"Why should the liquor seller and de.
baucher of the rising generation SIT at
