A HOME REMEDY.

passages and vessels leading into and
through every portion of the lungs.
The inflammation may be so violent
as to cause death in a short time ii
not quickly reduced, or it may linger
and drag as a bad cold of more or less
severity. What is true of a cold is
equally true of la grippe. Even q
mild condition is liable to turn quick
ly into acute pneumonia, or what is
worse, gslloping consumption. The
breathing tubes become so sensitive
tkst the least exposure, the slightest
draughr, change of clothing or of the
weather, is sufficient to cause fresh
cold, terrible cough, pain and fever.
Cough is the foremost symptom, and
it may be>hsrsh and dry or loose and
broken. with much expectoration. 1t
is always annoying, keeping up con-
slant irritation and excitement in the
sore and infamed tubes. There is
pain and tenderness under the breast
bone, sometimes of raw and tearing
nature. Hoarseness, huskiness, whis-
perlng, or loss of voice, chilly senss-
tons, sore throat, aching joints and
catarrh of the head. AS the disease
advances there are night sweats, hec-
tic fever, loss of flesh, splitting OF
blood or hemorrhage, and the patient
has the appearance and symptoms OF
consumption. The old way of treat
ing q cold is too we'll known to need
any explanation; the new way---the
better way--is with Lightning Hot
Drops. This remedy is especially
valuable in colds, la grippe, influenza,
coughs, horseness, etc. Indeed for la
grippe and influenza it may truly be
said to be a specific, while for break
ing cold or relieving hosrsness 1t is
without an equal.
