DO NOT SUPPRESS A COUGH.

DO NOT SUPPRESS A COUGH.
When you have cough do not try to
suppress it, but remove the cause. The
cough is only symptom of some disease,
and the disease is what you should cure,
then the cough will stop of itself. The
most common cause of coughing Is a
cold. Anodynes will promptly suppress
the cough, and preparations containing
chlorofOrm, opium, etc., are used for
that purpose, but they do not cure a
cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy on
the other hand does not suppress the
cough, but relieves it by removing from
the throat and lungs the mucus which
INSTRUCTED the breathing, and allaying
the irritation and tickling in the throat.
1t also opens the secretions and effect,
ually and permanently cures the cold
as we'll as the cough. For sale by Shurt.

'Nonsensel" said the Senator This is the

answer me two three questions correctly if you
please. Was your father a Russian political ref

against Russia the Russans?"
| assured him that my father was a Prussian
and had never been nearer the Russian border than
Dantzic. and that l had never written a syllable
about Russia; but that | contemplated doing So if
this thing kept much longer.
The Senator then said: - You may not be aware,
and were YOU aware II might not interest you very
much. that am a member of the Senate Committee
Foreign Affairs. and that there are now two or
three commercial treaties hanging there which the
Russian Ambassador particularly wishes to have
passed. shall give you a letter to Count CassIni
which you had better present in person"
He dictated letter, asking for the Ambassadors
kind Offices in my behalf, and returning home |
wrote TO the Russian Ambassador stating that l
the bearer of a letter to him from the United
know when it would be most convenient for
him TO have me present It.

IN the case. Yet l cannot ignore a letter from so
distinguished a gentleman the Senator. You
viii pardon the question: but have you the sum Of
one dollar and a quarter with you which is the
usual fee for vis6ing a passport?
l laid my passport and the money on his table,
and withdrew from the apartment. In the course
of a week l received my passport, with some Rus
sian writing on the back, which l was careful to
have read TO me before making OF the dOcu-
