YOUR BRONCHIAL TUBES

When cold settles in the bronchial
tubes, with that weakening, tickling
cough, immediate treatment is very
important. The breath seems shorter
because of mucous distractions; usu-
altyfeveris present, your head jars with
every cough and your chest may ache.
This is no time for experimenting or
delay-you must get SCOTS Emulsion
at once to drive out the cold which
started the trouble, and it will check
the cough by aiding the healing pro-
cess of the enfeebled membranes.
If you have any symptoms of bron-
chitis, or even stubborn cold, always
remember that SCOTS Emulsion has
been relieving this trouble for forty
years. tits free from alcohol or drugs.

she responded to Mrs. C. r. Wahrer's
welcome.
Mrs. Ayres in her RESPONSE said:

eessfully to so gracious a welcome as
Mrs. Walirer has just given us, would
require the eloquence OF an orator

famed and statewide. Many one
