BRAIN FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has

correct diet will not only nourish Il
particular part of the body. but II
will sustain every other part Ye,
however good your food may be. il

A Remarkable Record.

9aan2berlain's Cough Remedy has
relnaiEable record. It has been in
use for over thirty years, during which
ime many million bottles have been
sold ard used. It has long been the
standard and main reliance in the
treatment of Group in thousands of
zones, yet during all this time no case
has ever been reported to the manu-
facturers in which it failed to effect
q cure. When given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse or even as soon
IS the croupy cough appears, it will
prevent the attack. 1t is pleasant to
take; many children like it. 1t con
