child. then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in. he left word for
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. which he hoped would
give some relief until tine doctor should
arrive. In a few hours he returned.
saying the doctor need not come. as the
child was much better. The druggist.

friends until he has constant demand
for it from that part of the country.

BERLIN. Jan. s.-The excitement

and oyertops everything else.
Even the opening Of the Prusslan

unjustihed.

without shadow Of doubt that the
Rundesrath was seized on strictly
neutral territory within a radius be-
longing by international law to the
