only IA working days left senators gen.

gotten out of the way. but when a sug.

Invariably is that, Notwithstanding the

however, that the statehood bill will

German syrup.

We want to impress on our readers
that Boschee's German Syrup is posi-
lively the only preparation on the mar
ket today that does relieve and cure
consumption. It contains the specifics.
such as pure tar, extracts of gums, ETC.,
which have been so highly endorsed for
the cure of coughs, colds and consump-
ton by the great medical congresses.
The consumptive, whether his disease
is in the throat or lungs, must have
rest at night, and be free from the
spasm of dry and racking cough in the
morning. The diseased parts want
rest, healing and soothing treatment
and the patient needs fresh air, good
food, etc. German Syrup will give
free and easy expectoration in the
morning with speedy and permanent
relief. Small bottles, Is cents; regular
size, containing nearly four times as
much, IS cents. AT all druggists.
