HEART TO HEART TALK
WITH A YOUNG MOTHER.

Good morning. Pm so glad to see
you How are the children? What's
the trouble now Seems like they
have been sick all winter. First scar
let fever, then diphtheria and now it
is whooping cough. Well, you have had
your hands full to be sure, but do you
know | believe you could have warded
off some of those diseases. Oh no!
I'm not accusing you of neglecting
you children; you're too good a
mother to do that. | know your new
neighbOrs brought scarlet fever, but
don't you remember the hard colds
your children had just when they
came? Now listen a moment; that
has had more TO do with it than you
think. Your children were then par
ticularly susceptible to disease germs
on account of their lowered vitality
Eminent physicians now agree that
children would not be nearly so likely
to take scarlet fever diptheria-
whoOping cough or any of the CATCH
ing diseases if every cold were doc
| tOred when it first makes it's ap-
pearance. You have noticed that when
two children are exposed to some con-
tagiOus disease at the same time often
one of them will take it and the other
will not. Well, that is just the reason,
one child had a cold and the other did
not. l never allow a cold to run "a
hours without attention. You say you
don't have any confidence in cough
medicines? You have not used the
right one yet. Just try Chamberlain
Cough Remedy and you'll change your
mind. OF course you have heard of it.
1t has been on the market for 35
years. No, indeed, it won't hurt the
children. There is nothing in it that
will injure your little baby. Get a
bottle of it while you are up town and
you will find that your children will
not catch everything that comes
| along

ABOUT COUGHS
A COUGH is NOT A DISEASE, BUT
A SYMPTOM.

By the character of the cough We
are greatly aided in determining the
nature of the disease that causes it.
dry hacking cough is usually
caused by an irritation of the mucous
membrane lining the air passages of
the throat and bronchial tubes. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy will allay
this irritation. The cause being re-
moved there will be no more coughing.
When the cough is dry, loud and so
norous it indicates that you have TAX
en- cold. Take a double dose of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, battle the
feet in hot water, take a cathartic and
go to bed and you can cure a cold in
one night.
When the cough is spasmodic and
long continued it indicates whipping
cough, and the peculiar whoOp will
| identify the disease. This is a dan
gerous disease unless properly treat
ed More deaths result from it than
from scarlet fever. Keep the cough
loose and expectoration easy by Civ
; ing Chamberlain Cough Remedy as
required and all danger may be
avoided.
A persistent cough often follows al
attack of influenza or grip, which i:
usually due to a roughnes and irrita
ton of the mucuous membrane lining
the air passages of the throat. Cham
berlains Cough Remedy has proven
very successful in allaying this irri
tation and checking the cough.
When child's cough has a peculiar
ringing metallic sound. accompanied
by hoarseness, it indicates an ap
preaching attack of Group. The at
tack may be warded off by giving
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freel!
as directed with each bottle as soor
as the cough appears.
For persistent cough accompanied
| by a gradual loss of flesh, tired feel
ling and night sweats, consult a ply
stefan at once and have your lungs
examined. These are the first symp
toms of consumption. and if a cure i!
hoped for no time should be lost.

THE TEST OF TIME
A BIT OF HISTORY-SHOWIN
HOW HONEST GOODS AND
HONEST EFFORTS HAVE.
SUCCEEDED.

For more than 80 years Chamber.
lain's Cough Remedy has constantly
gained in favor and popularity until
it is now one of the most staple medi-
cines in use, and has an enormous
sale. Every industry has it's pioneer
days, and it is during these strug-
ling times that its worth and merits
are tested. The early history of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy shows that
except in point of merit, it had no
more hope of success than other sim
liar preparations, which were put on
the market at the same time, but were
never known outside OF their own To-
cality, and have long since ceased to
be manufactured. Step by step, each
successive year, as its superior excel
lence becomes more widely known, it
has been gradually gaining in favor.
Taken first, perhaps, on trial by some
family, who found it good, it was rec
commended by them to neghbor;
they in turn passed it on to other
friends, and for over 80 years it's rep
utation has in this manner been spread
ing until it has reached the utmost
corners of the earth Science and adj
vanced medical authorities during all
OF this time have failed to produce a
better remedy for coughs, colds and
Group, and today Chamberlain Cough
Remedy is enjoying the largest sale
of any similar preparation on the mar,
ket. This success can be attributed
TO no other cause than its sterling
worth. No matter how much promin-
ence an article may receive through
the medium of advertising, it must be
trustworthy to hold the confidence OF
the public. In thousands of homes
this remedy is the main reliance of par
ents in attacks of Group. Not only
does it give prompt relief, but it is
SO pleasant to take that children like
it, and it contains nothing that is in
any way injurious.

The following remarkable statement
the now famous Cooper medicines,
which are having such large sale at
the Harper House pharmacy, is volun-
tarily made by Mrs. Robert Froeter
living at SO Forty-ffth street. Rock
Island H.. who has had a most re-
markable experience Mrs. Froeter
says:
''In August, 1906, when my husband
and myself were anticipating with much
JOY the arrival of a little one to bless
our home, our hopes were shattered by
the discovery that life had left its body

me. and continued day and night with

head, but as he would not guarantee
to relieve the pain, would not have

Cooper came 10 Davenport in Novem-

with me to consult with him. When
had explained my case. he assured
me his medicine would help me. guar

a penny if it failed to give relief after
a thorough trial. We took home with
us a treatment of his New Discovery

One of the most remarkable eczema

the voters of the territory and the
association that the council will act

neXation of this territory would mean
