CAUTION.

This is not a gentle word-but when you think how liable you are not to purchase the only remedy universally known and a remedy that has had the largest sale of any medicine in. the world since 1869 for the cure and treat ment of Consumption: and Throat and Lung troubles without losing its great popularity all these years. you will be thankful we called your attention to Boschee's German Syrup. There are so many ordinary cough remedies made by druggists and others that are cheap and good for light colds perhaps. but for severe Coughs, Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for Consump- tion, where there is difficult expectora- tion and coughing during the nights and mornings, there is nothing like German Syrup.
