Mrs. Frank Croker, Fana, H., writes:
"Our five-year-old son, Paul, caught
a severe cold last winter that settled
on his lungs and he had terrible
coughing spells. We were greatly
worried about him as the medicine we
gave him did not help him in the
least. A neighbor spoke so highly of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy that /
G bottle Of it. The first dose bene-
flied him so much that I continued
giving it to him until he was cured"

that's what we got. And l am proud
to say that it was Miss Compton who
conferred this honor upon me.
At about three o'clock on that after
noon, when we were all having a good
time, one of the Orderlies threw open
the door of the ward and announced
in a loud voice that his majesty the
king was coming in. We could not
have been more surprised if some one
had thrown in a Mills bomb. Almost
Immediately the king walked in, ac-
companied by a number of aids. They
were all in service uniforms, the king
having little in the style of his uni
form to distinguish him from the 9TH
ers. He walked around, presenting
each patient with a copy of Queen
Mary's Gift Book" an artistic little
volume, with pictures and short stories
by the most famous of English artists
and writer's. When he neared my bed
he turned to one of the nurses and In
CURED:
''Is this the one?"
The nurse nodded. He came and sat
at the side of the bed and shook hands
with me. He asked as to what part of
the United States I had come from,
how l had got my wounds and what
the nature of them were, how l was
getting along and what l particularly
wished done for me. 1 answered his
questions and said that everything l
could possibly wish for had already
been done for me.
Thanked by King and Decorated for
Bravery.
ST thank you," he said, "for myself
and my people for your services. Our
gratitude cannot be great enough to-
ward men who have served as you
have"
He spoke in a very low voice and
with no assumption of royal dignity.
