Good Advice .

If your children are subject to Group
you should never be without bottle
of Harris Honey and Horehound ia
the house. 1t is sure and speedy
cure FOR Group and we have never
known it to fail. If you give it as
soon as hOarseness appears, it will
prevent Group in every instance.
Mothers should remember this, as
Harris Honey and Horehound has
saved the lives Of many children sub
ject to Group when nothing else gave
relief. There is no danger in giving
this medicine to little children in
large or frequent doses. Sold by
NiYian's Pharmacy.

The Easy Pill.

De Wits Little Early Risers do
not grippe nor weaken the system,
They cure biliousness, jaundice, con
stipation, and inactive livers, by
arousing the secretiOns, moving the
bowels gently yet etrectually, and Civ
ing such tone aud strength to the
glands of the stomach, liver and
bowels that the cause Of trouble is
removed entirely. These famous little
pills exert a decided tonic effect upon
the organs involved and if their use
is continued for a few days there will
be no return of the trouble. PrideauX
