A Hint to The Aged.

If people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain
in bed for one or two days, they
would recover much more quickly,
especially if they take Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. There would also
be less danger of the cold being fol-
lowed by any Of the more serious dis
eases.-Adv.

 T have seen men borne in on stretchers or staggering in on their feet, with their faces contorted showing either physical pain or men tai strain from their grim experi- ences in the trenches, relax, smile and ask for something to eat, after having a 'whiff' of cigarette said a surgeon in charge of a casulaty clearing station.
 "The effect of the cigarette is wonderful. It certainly is not medic inal Cor the action is too quick. As soon as the lads take their "whiff" they seem eased and reliev- ed of their agony"
