WORDS FROM A MOTHER.

I am surprised to read the senti-
ments of our city physician. Why?
Because only last April he witnessed
a thorough test of the virtue Of Golden
Chemical Compound in my home. He
said my little girl had one of the worst
cases of diphtheria of the season. He
took her culture three times to be
sure it was diphtheria, and said must
use antitoxine- --.f.s
This 1 refused, owing to my sad ex-
perience while living in Los Angeles
Cal, where after It's continued use and
failure for several days, used the
Golden Chemical Compound and my
family recovered For this reason l
thought diphtheria would not attack
my little girl so soon again, and conse-
Quently was slow to realize that with
in less than two years she again had
this monster to contend with. She had
a very bad cold several days and sore
throat set in but I was not alarmed
for I knew what I could do with G. G.
c. Friday night she grew worse, then
began to swab her throat.
I intended to call a physician to ex-
anime the child as quarantine was in
order, if he pronounced it diphtheria.
Parties in the building had notified the
city physician. He came, declared
her dangerous. and insisted on anti
toxine. I said no, my former eX-
perience teaches me to use it no more
I use Golden Chemical Compound. At
this he became enraged and said, are
you gong TO let neT ole SalQ II
did not know what 1 was doing l would
have every physician in town here. He
went away and returned with a friend
", fatherly doctor who said, the child S
throat is not so bad as it has been,
keen on with whatever you are doing.
Again he returned with a lady physi-
clan who was very roth with the use
of Golden Chemical Compound, and
she said there had been a death across
the street and this is suspicious one,
Saturday night found me eagerly
watching the little form of my last
and only child, she asked me in her
rational moments, not to let her die,
and said mamma, can you save me2''
The rapid reproduction of the diph-
liberia membrane continued to curl up
on the swab every few minutes for
hours. At this period, had my faith
in this matchless remedy wavered,
and had I resorted to the hot water
and salt and soda wash the doctor
had advised to remove the membrane,
my choking little girl would have met
her fatal doom as many others have
done.
It is the pride of a man to fight for
his country. Then why not a woman
defend a remedy that has blessed her
home2 At three o'clock Sunday
morning after a night of faithful care,
I saw her change for the better.
A guard had been sent to my door;
it was such a bad case was not per-
mitted to step outside. When the
city physician this time returned he
found the child. dressed. sitting upon
the bed at play. She had eaten her
breakfast. For a week watched and
swabbed her throat to prevent the re-
turn Of the reproducing membrane.
Many have been saved by Golden
Chemical Compound. Many more have
been saved the suffering and sickness
by it's use as a preventative, used as a
gargle or spray for the throat The
DIaymates of my little girl were ex-
posed to diphtheria, used G. G. G. and
did not take it at all. One little boy
in the building had sore throat and
fever for one day, his mother being
faithful with G. C. c. a physician was
not needed. For further information
