How to Cure a Cold.

Be as careful as you can you
will occasionally take cold, and
when you do, get a medicine OF
known reliability, one that has
an established reputation and that
is certain to effect quick cure.
Such a medicine is Chamberlain +
Cough Remedy. 1t has gained a
world wide reputation by it's re-
markable cures of this most com
mon ailment, and can always be
depended upon. 1t acts on nature s
plan, relieves the lnngs, aids ex-
pectoration, opens the secretions
and aids nature in restoring the
system to healthy condition.
During the many years in which il
has been in general use we have
yet to learn of a single case of cold
or attack of the grip having re-
suited in pneumonia when this
remedy was used, which shows
conclusively that it is a certain
preventive of that dangerous dis
ease. Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy contains no opium or other
narcotic and may be given as con-
fidently to baby as to an adult.

pushed into the tree. Or the wart was crossed with a pin three times; the pin was stuck in the tree, and the wart left the hand for the tree. But a charm was spoken in each case,
 As tree, ashen tree,
 Pray bury these warts of me.
 In other provinces the warts were rubbed with the inside of a bean shell while the victim recited:
 As this bean shell rot away,
 So my warts shall soon decay.
 In Shropshire each wart was touch ed with gravel stone. The stones were tied in bag and thrown away, and this was spoken:
 Warts, warts, go away.
 In a month, a week and day.
 Or beans were stolen, one for each wart, tied up in paper, carried to the crossing of roads and dropped. The af- fiicted walked away without looking behind him. But the charm of charms was this; you caught moonshine in a bright silver basin and washed your | hands in it. Sir Kenelme Digby said
