They contain fragrant and soothing
medicinal herbs which smoke per-

Not only does the smoker have
more pleasure but there is a valuable
remedial benefit. First, let 1t be

colds. Second, they are purposed to
give relief in throat irrltatlons,
hoarseness, catarrh of the headso or

and in reducing deafness OF which
colds and catarrh are the cause. Do
