German Syrup is the special pre-
scription of DR.. A. Boschee, cele.

amection, and leaving the parts in a
strong and healthy condition. 1t is
not an experimental medicine, but has
stood the test of years, giving salts
faction in every case, which it's rapidly
increasing sale every season confirms.
Two million bottles sold annually
boschee's German Syrup was intro
