OUININE DOESN'T
CURE BAD COLDS
Tells How to Break a Severe
Cold and Grippe in a
Few nOurS

You will distinctly feel your cold
breaking and all the Grippe symp-
toms leaving after taking the very first
dose.
1t is positive fact that Pape's
Cold Compound, taken every two
hours, until three consecutive doses
are taken, will end the Grippe and
break up the most severe cold, either
in the head, chest back, stomach or
limbs.
1t promptly relieves the most mis-
cradle neuralgia pains, headache, dull
ness, head and nose stuffed up, fever
ishness, sneezing, sore throat, run
ming of the nose, mucous catarrhal
discharges, soreness, stiffness and
rheumatic twinges.
Pape's Cold Compound is the result
of three years research at a cost of
more than fifty thousand dollars and
contains no quinine, which We have
conclusively demonstrated is not ef-
fective in the treatment of colds or
grippe.
Take this harmless compound as
directed, with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine, made any
where else in the world, which will
cure your cold or end grippe misery
as promptly and without any other as
sistance or bad after-effects as a 25
cent package OF Pape's Cold Com
pound, which any druggist in the
world can supply.

NEW METHOD Is GIVEN
FOR REMOVING STAINS

II rust stains prove very obstinate,
here is a method of which few know,
and yet which has a reputation for
infallibility;
The stain should be held over a
basin OF warm water to which am
monia has been added. A piece Of
wood should then be dipped in a so
luton of is per cent of hydrochlorid
acid and applied TO the spot AS soon
as the stain disappears the portion OF
the material which has been treated
should be rinsed in the basin OF am
monia and water, so as TO prevent
the acid from destroying the texture
of the cloth
AS hydrochloric acid has an iniu-
rious effect on some fabrics, however,
Il is always best to test its action on
a corner Of the material before treat
ing the stain. Keep all the acids away
from fire and never pour water on
them.
