A Prominent western newspaper re-
eommends flax seed tea as an excellent
remedy for whooping cough. 1t may be
good but it is not to be compared with
Chamberland's Cough Remedy. This
preparation will allay the violent fits of
coughing and make them less frequent
and less severe. 1t also liquefies the
tough mucus, making it easier to expec-
torate. Complete recovery is much
quicker, too, when the remedy is given.
There is no danger in giving it to small
children, as it is pleasant syrup and
contains nothing injurious. For sale at

IMPURE BLOOD.
The Ills That Accompany it are Legion.
The Sufferer Eventually Becomes
loathsome Sight, with Death the Only
Escape From Pain.

Let a diseased condition of the blood once
exist, and unless it is stopped it will from day
to day grow and spread. The disease germs
in the blood multiply rapidly and impregnate
the tissues throughout the entire bouy, creating
ulcers and other horrible Sores The patient
grows weaker and weaker. Every one of the
great vital organs of the body become affected.
and death is looked upon as blessing. Do
not let such troubles go too far; before it is
too late take that most famous OF blood puri-
fHers, Kickapoo Indian Sagwa. It quickly
enriches and purifies this great vital principle
of the body, and at the same time acting directly
on the stomach, liver and kidneys, dispelling all
lurking poisons. Thousands have been cured,
and to-day sing its praise.
One of the many who have experienced relief
is Amos Lord, of Conway, Iowa. He says,
az suffered from chronic blood affection for
20 years. In September, &C., had an operation
performed on my foot, but the poison still
remained and went through my entire system,
and placed me in such condition / could not
sleep nights on account of the hot, burning
Pushes all over me. l lost the use of nv limb.
My liver and kidneys became badly affected,
and my general health SO reduced that I gave
up trying to live. Took over twenty bottles of
certain Sarsaparillas with no relief. AT last /
concluded to rive Kickapoo Indian Sagwa a
trial, and am happy to state that after using
it l experienced great improvement. NV
liver and kidneys became normal. nv limbs
began to gain strength, SO that now can walk
without .crutches, and my health is good for a
man OF my age, being over 20 years old l
cheerfully recommend Sagwa to anyone afflicted
with kidney and liver troubles. l think it is
the greatest blood purifier l ever used.''
Remember it is purely vegetable, and con-
tains no poisonous ingredients whatever, being
made entirely of roots, banks, herbs and gums.
All druggists sell it. $l.00 bottle; 6 bottles
for $500.
