HOW TO BREAK UP
A BAD COLD
A REMEDY WITHIN REACH
OF ALL.
Pleasant and Safe to Take
Loss of Time All Danger of
Pneumonia Avoided.

1t may be surprise to our readers to
learn that a severe cold can in many in
stances be completely broken up in one or
two days time. To do this, however, prompt
action is necessary. The first symptoms Of
a cold are a dry, loud cough, profuse wat
cry discharge from the nose, and thin
white coating on the tongue. When Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is taken in double
of these symptoms, it will counteract the
effect of the cold and restore the system to a
healthy condition within one or two days
time, in almost every case, and when the
cold is not completely cured in this time, its
severity will be greatly lessened and COM
plete cure insured in q very short time. When
no action toward curing the cold is TAKEN
the dry, loud cough is followed by profuse
watery expectoration, and that by difficulty
in breathing, peculiar tightness of the
chest and slight expectoration of very
tough and tenacious mucous. Few persons
pay any attention to cold until in this con-
dition, that is, until the cold has become
settled in the system. The first action should
be to relieve the lungs. This is best accom-
plished by the free use of Chamberlains
Cough Remedy. This remedy lique6es the
tough mucus and causes its expulsion from
the air cells of the lungs, produces a free
expectoration, and opens the secretions. A
complete cure soon follows. In some cases,
however, several days are required, but the
experience of thousands of persons in the
use of this remedy has been that it will cure
severe cold in less time than any other
treatment, and that it leaves the system in
natural and healthy condition. This remedy
also prevents cold from resulting in pneu-
monia. Price rs cents, large size SO cents.

James B. Cutler died very suddenly
at his home in our city. The sad news
came as a shock to "Uncle Jim's" many
friends, as he had been upon our
streets as usual until the preceding
day, and he was up and about the
house the morning of his death. James
Cutler was born in White Pigeon,
Mich, Dec Z, 1880. In May of the
year 1850, he came to Iowa, locating in
Wanneshiek county, where two years
later he was married to Miss Margaret
Beard In 1861, they removed to Usage,
which place has been their home ever
since Mr. Cutler has been identified
with our city in many ways, serving
two terms as county recorder, also
two terms as mayor OF our city.

MORE FACTS ABOUT
THE NEW TREATMENT

1t has been pointed out recently
that pepsin is Intellectual in an aka
line medium, and that the intestines
are always alkaline. 1t has further
more been proven that, since most
obstruction and poisonous fermenta-
ton occurs in the intestines, the effect
,ual use of pepsin is limited to that
state of gastric INSURGENCY in which
the intestines have not yet had time
to become infected. Inasmuch as the
food passes directly from the stom-
ach into the intestines, and inasmuch
as fermentation sets up at once in an
impure or improperly mixed chyrne,
the cases in which pepsin is of serv-
ice are comparatively rare! After the
poisons set to work in the intestines,
pepsiD is valueless. On the other
