Climatic Cures.

The influence of climatic condi-

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 German Syrup,
so is a good nights rest and the alb
sence of that weakening cough and
facilitating night sweat. Restless
nights and the exhaustion due to
coughing, the greatest danger and
dread of the consumptive. can be
prevented or stopped by taking Ger
