Old.FashiOned Home Remedy that r.
of Great Value.

In comparing statistics of the fatal
tiles from pneumonia In different
states it is interesting to notice how
favorably Maine compares with other
states. This is undoubtedly due to the
general use of simple homemade
remedy composed of four tablespoons
full of molasses or honey and one eacf
of olive oil and Anodyne. Mix well
together and take in tcaspoonful doses.
The Anodyne alone is also applied en-
ternally on the throat and chest. II
taken in time, this will absolutely pre-
