GROUP AND COLDS
TREATED BY COWANS

Severe cases of Group have been
known to yield to an external treat
ment known as Gowans, in Is minutes,
and 1t Is said that one application on
the chest and throat at night before
going to bed rarely fails to break up
the worse attack. It seems unfair to
the little ones to let them suffer when
such easy. quick relief Is within reach
OF all. Then again. when Group and
colds are neglected. serious results
follow. Gowans is absolutely safe to
use, even on the most delicate chill
dren, as 1t Is applied externally to the
chest and other affected parts. and
when covered over with warm nan-
mel cloth, 1t goes straight to the spot
and breaks up the inflammation and
congestion. Here Is one OF many
thousands OF testimonials: Prof. r.
A. Peters, Atchison, Kans.. writes. Il
cannot endorse Gowans Preparation
too highly. Have used 1t for Group on
