CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence Of climatic conditions
in the cure Of consumption is very
much overdrawn. The poor patient,
and the rich patient, too can do much
better at home by proper attention to
food digestion, and regular use Of
German Syrup, Free expectoration in
the morning is made certain by Ger
man Syrup, so is good nights rest
and the absence of that weakening
cough and facilitating night sweat.
Restless nights and the exhaustion
due 10 coughing, the greatest danger
and dread of the consumptive, can be
prevented or stopped by taking Ger.
man Syrup literally and regularly.
Should you be able to go to . warmer
cline. you will find that Of the thous-
ands Of consumptives there, the few
who are benefited and regain strength
are those who use German Syrup.

THE way to mans heart ID
through his stomach" an old saying
meaning that to win q man you must
feed him well.
IL this is not true, it is still true in
another sense that the way to a man 4
heart is through his stomach. Many
persons imagine that they have heart
disease when it is only indigestion.
This is how 1t comes about. The
stomach distended by gas, crowds the
heart and gives the feeling that the
trouble is in the heart.
If you don't know that you have
heart trouble, try using Walther's
Peptonized Port and see If il does not
relieve you.

When they do som ething-"do

Chased bv Wild Doos.

Chased for more than a mile by a
pack Of wild dogs, apparently a cross
between the common dog and the
wolf. Miss Gertie Sullivan, daughter of
sheepman living on Birch Creek,
Mont, escaped only by spending the
night in an old corral and picking of
the animals now and then with a
rifle.
Miss Sullivan was riding her pony
across the prairie when she saw some
distance away perhaps twenty animals,
which at first glance she took to be
coyotes
AS they came nearer, evidently in
pursuit Of her, the girl saw they were
not coyotes, but wild dogs, Of which
there are several small packs in north
ern Montana and just over the Cana,
dian line.
1t became a ride for life with Miss
Sullivan. She had with her a small
rifle, but the animals seemed so saw
age she dared not stop and give them
battle.
As she began to despair Of escaping
she sighted the old sheep corral, and
toward this she rode. reaching it only
when the pack was but a short dis
lance away. To enter with the pony
and close the gate was the work Of
moment. a
Swapping and snarling, the dogs tore
at the poles forming the stockade, but
unable to gain an entrance. The girl
began shooting at the animals, which
retreated when she fired and returned
to the attack when the rifle was sic
lent.
Miss Sullivan was found by her
father and brother, who had been
seeking her.
