in an opening skirmish of rug beat

was moved TO some curiosity,
"Aint you a little late with youy

OLD-TIME COLD CURE
DRINK HOT TEA

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it. Hamburger Brust Thee, at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful OF the
tea, put a cup OF boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink q
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores OF the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus breaking up cold.
Try il the next time you suffer from
g cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
