Did it ever occur to you that pro-
prietary medicines are a blessing to
mankind generally? The good on-s
have long continued sale; the poor
ones have short life and soon leave
the market.
It we had to depend entirely upon
physicians and druggists it would be
expensive and very incOnvenient at
times especially in the country and
at night when neither could be con-
veniently reached. For nearly 40
years Boschee's German Syrup has
been used in many families and
thousands of lives have been saved
by its use, when it was impossible to
reach a physician. German Syrup is
the best household remedy for coughs,
colds, throat and lung trouble. 1t
quickly relieves the hacking cough,
loosens the phlegm, and brings sound
and refreshing sleep. Twenty-Five
