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 II leads TO other and
more dangerous diseases, conyulsions,
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 proprietors of the process
of manufacturing Castanine, power
full alkaloid obtained exclusively from
Castanea Americana, or the American
chestnut leaf. This almost specific rem
edy for whooping cough, taken from
the chestnut leaf and added to other
valuable medicinal agents: : boar
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

AMERICANS OCTPLAYED.
Behr and Wright Both LOse In Davis Cup
Singles Matches with AustralasIans.
Special Cable Despatch TO THE SUN.

LONDON, July i3.-The American players.
Karl II. Behr and Beals c. Wright. were shut
out by the Austr al asi ans, Norman Z. Brookes
and A. r. Wildlng, to-day In the hrst round
Of the prelimina AIRY tie for the Dwight F. Davis
international lawn ennis trophy. Brookes
easily defeated Wright. and while Behr started
well against Wilding. the latter kept his
composure and eventually pulled out the
match after 1ve hard played sets. This
gives the Australasians two matches to love,
and should they win in the doubles on Mon
day, which is considered inevitable. they
will have the honor of challen gins the British
holders for the trophy,
While II was hardly expected that Wright
would be able to defeat Brookes, the new
all England champion, II was thought that
he would make a better lght Of IT,. In the
first set the players won on service up to 3 all.
Then Brookes broke through and won two
games: Wright won the next. but was beaten.
"a. 1t was noted that Brookes won many
points on service, using a hard twist such as
was introduced In England two years ago by
Wright. Brookes captured the second set
at "a and then took the match very easily
with "A third set at 90.
Reginald F. Doherty said after the match
that Wright did not play anything like his
game. The American was weak Il in his ground
strokes and especially A. a loss In returnlng
the service. This hitherto has been accounted
one OF his strong points. As a matter, OF
fact, u was very generally the opinion that
Wright had not yet recovered from. the effects
of the blood poisoning he suffered from last
match was: Il was outplaycd."
The New Zealander, Wildins, seemed TO
him get the first set. IL was not exactly
letting him. because Behr's service was very
sc we're and Wilding was at all times in DIM
%culties, However. Behr. once in the lead,
seemed to play on; lie lost the second set az
in that way. The fourth set came. near to
