MOST CERTAIN WAY TO
END A SEVERE COLD
Surely breaks the most stubborn
cold and ends Grippe misery
in lust a few hours.

1t is a positive fact that a dose Of
Pape's Cold Compound taken every two
hours until three consecutive doses are
taken will cure Grippe or break up the
most severe cold, either in the head.
chest, back, stomach, or limbs.
You distinctly feel the cold breaking
and all the disagreeable grippe symp-
toms leaving after the very first dose.
1t promptly ends the most miserable
headache, dullness, head and nose
stuffed up, feverishness, sneezing. sore
throat, running of the nose. mucous ca
tarrhal 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 effective in the
treatment of colds or grippe.
Take this harmless compound as d.
rected, with the knowledge that there
Is no other medicine made anywhere else
in the world. which will cure your cold
or end Grippe misery as promptly and
without any other assistance OF bad
after effects as a 25-cent package OF
Pape's Cold Compound, which any drug
gist In the world can supply.
