to 81, o65 a year that they have
done so and issues them patents.
1t is much to be regretted that
we have 6,246,857 illiterate citi-

but there is a ray of hope in the
fact that we are spending annually
some 1921, 916,660 on our public

by 16,468, 300 pupils, who receive

And then there are 453 colleges

they say, that we brag bit; but

Whooping Cough.

This disease commences very much
the same as an ordinary cold, but may
soon be identified by its peculiar
cough. The principal danger is from
the accumulation Of tough tenacious
mucus in the throat, choking the child,
or the prolonged and violent cough
ing, rupturing the tiny air cells of the
lungs. When neglected complications
arise. That is, 1T leads to other ard
more dangerous diseases, convulslons,
pneumonia, etc. which often results
fatally "Coussen's Honey Of Tar"
will keep the the cough loose and the
expectoration easy, allay the irrita-
tion and tickling in the throat, max
ing the fits of coughing less violent
and less frequent. The reason this
remedy has had such phenomenal sue
cess in the treatment OF whooping
coughs is that the manufacturers Of
Of Coussen's Compound Honey of Tar
are the sole propriet0rs OF the process
Of manufacturing Castanine, power
full alkaloid obtained exclusively from
Castanea Americana, or the American
chestnutleaf. This almost speciflcreE-
edy for whooping cough, taken from
the chestnut leaf and added to other
valuable medicinal agents: hoar-
hound, wild cherry, squills, blood root,
MULLEN, tulu, honey, tar, etc, makes
the compound prescription, known
since 1861 as "Coussen's Compound
Honey of Tar"-The only absolute
and positive remedy for the distress
ing cough known as the Whooping
cough. Give 1t trial. Sold by Fed
