She turned to it and read eagerly. Then
she threw the paper from her.

at every step, and did not realize their
exhaustion until they dropped into a
chair in some breezy corner by the lake,
and cooled off," That's what began the

Mrs. L. w. Stevens, Fort Fairfield, Me-,

my husband took a severe cold and
cough two years ago last October-time of
the Worlds Fair, which we attended. This
cough lasted over two years, was accom-
panied by splitting of blood. and nothing
could be found to help him, although vari-
GUS remedies were tried. Several doctors
were consulted, but their prescriptions
afforded no relief. Finally, saw an ad-

in my paper and prevailed upon my i1us-
band to get bottle and try it. The very
first dose helped him and he was COM
