PRISONERS GET
dope" FROM
COUGH REMEDY
Sheriff Finds Drug Victims
Novel Source Of
i Supply.

Many so-called cough cures offered
to the public are heavily loaded with
, chIoroform, opium, morphine, codeine
and other narcotic drugs to such an
extent that several prisoners of the
Suffolk County jail at Boston got the
drugs their appetite craved by pre-
tending to the sheriff that they had
severe coughs, according to the Bos-
ton Post of June 7, 1915.
These dangerous habit-formlng
drugs do have a temporary effect on
the cough but they do not have a
lasting effect and soon the cough
comes back worse than ever. Doctors
sound a warning against these prepa-
rations. A safe sane treatment for
a cough or cold is Father Johns
Medicine because it is guaranteed
from any of these dangerous drugs
or alcohol and has record of more
than sixty years success as a fam
NY remedy in thousands of homes
Because of it's wholesome purity it is
safe for all the family. It soothes
the throat and breathing passages, re-
lieves the cough by getting at the
cause, drives out the impurities by
means of it's gentle laxative effect anG
builds up renewed strength because
of it's wholesome food elements.
