to do great injury. After the expectora-
ton has been properly removed the cough
will stop itself. That is the only proper
way to stop cough.
Occasionally a cough depends upon an
irritable condition of the larynx or bron-
chial tubes, in which there is little or no
expectoration.
The problem of stopping such cough
is slightly different one. Even in those
cases Peruna ought to be taken, but some
times it is necessary that local treatment
be added.
But in any case Peruna is needed. You
do not have TO stop to write me. Get
Peruna at once and commence taking it.
You can get rid of that cough sooner 1
believe than in any other way.
Should you wish to consult me at any
time while you are taking Peruna you are
at perfect liberty to write me. Your let
tiers will be held strictly confidential and
you will receive prompt answer.

Unpicked Grapes Go to the Poor

A curious old law, which dates from
l179. has been used to sentence the
owner OF a vineyard at Capestang
near Beziers. France. to a fine and
costs for picking her own grapes. She
was picking the grapes which had been
left on the vines in her vineyard after
the fall gathering. when the policeman
told her that she was committing an
o1ense against the law, as all grapes
left on the vines after the harvest
were the property Of the poor. The
court at Beziers. confirmed the police
mans opinion, and the woman was
convicted.
