To use an eighteenth century phrase,
this is an 'o'er true tale" Having hap
pened in a small Virginia town in the

says, "my baby took a dreadful cold and
at one time | feared she would have
pneumonia, but one of my neighbors
told me how this remedy had cured her
little boy and l began giving it to my
baby at once and it soon cured her. /
heartily thank the manufacturers of
