WHAT IS A COUGH?

A spasmodic effort to expel the rnucus
from the bronchial tubes. A cold causes
more abundant secretion of mucus,
and when the lungs and bronchial tubes
are infiamed. they are extremely sensi-
tive to the irritation. Unless care ia
taken, the cold may result in pneu-
monia, which is swift and deadly. If
the cold is lingering one, the more
leisprely but equally fatal consumption
may set In. Do not neglect a cold or
cough. Take. ChamberIafn's Couch
Remedy. It always cures and cures
quickly. Benson, Smith & Co TIA

which only half dozen sickly individ-
uals reached here, is now firmly es-
tahlished. Its effectiveness is not yet
fully ascertained, since it has natural
enemies, in the shape of certain other
bugs which have been present in the
Islands for many years.
As TO the other imported lantana in
seCts, they are at present practically
free from attacks from other preda-
ceous or parasitic insects; and it is
quite certain that the parasites, which
in Mexico destroy at least 80 per cent
of the individuals of the lantana-eat-
ing species were entirely eliminated
here, before the latter were liberated.
To this fact is due the astonishing ra-
pidity of increase of some of the
quicker breeding insects in these ISL
ands, so that after three months, from
two or three dozeP of the berry-eat-
ing fly, originally liberated, the prog
eny had already run into many mil
lions.
The imported insects enumerated
above are almost all feeders on the
seed, unripe berry, flower, bud or
shoot These do not in any way de-
stroy the bush itself, but they are
highly effective in checking any fur
ther spread of the plant, and render
it possible for any one to clear Ian
tana covered land once and for all,
without fear of having to perform this
work at intervals of every few Years.
Amongst these. however are a few
