ward application along the front of the
throat, from close up under the chin to
well down to the top Of the chest; the ore
remedy assists the other, and as intended,
they work in complete unison. The won
derful penetrating power of St. Jacobs Oil
enables it to reach the adhesion OF foreign
matter which lines the bronchial tubes
and which makes breathing more and
more difficult. As these adhesions become
infamed and enlarged, St. Jacobs Oil
causes such adhesions to break away,
making expectoration easier and more free.
DR.. August koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea,

heals the parts, is comforting and quieting,
stops the cough and relieves the breathing.
This manner OF treatment land there is no
other two remedies that will work together

the outside and the inside at the same
time. st. Jacobs Oil reaches the roots Of
the adhesion, and assists DR.. August Koe-
nig's Hamburg Breast Tea in clearing
them; then both remedies act in unison in
healing and curing. The above remarks
apply with equal force in cases Of asthma,
crocp, whooping cough, enlarged tonsils
and all bronchial affections. Every family
should have st. Jacobs Oil and DIR. August

promptly used in the first stages. Often

pidity, and complications take place with

Insects Think Like Men.

Insects think rs truly as men do.
although not. Of course. on the same
scale. This Is the belief Of n. Forel.
q French neurologist. who has been
making observations of ants and bees
for relaxation. He thinks that, be.
tween the ideas of the naturalist who
regards insects as mere automatons
and those OF man who treats them rs
II they had human intelligence. there
is a happy medium Of common sense.
and this he has tried to attain. His
observations teach him that, although
most OF the acts Of insects can be ex-
planned by instinct, there remain what
he calls "small plastic judgments" by
which they. avoid difficulties and steer
their way between dangers. The d.
rective faculty OF bees especially. and
their wonderful memory for places.
can hardly be explained on the theory
Of automatism.
