Difficult Breathing or Fits Of
Coughing and
Splitting.

At this time of year people with
Bronchial. Catarrhal and Asthmatic
trouble suffer most Many cannot
breathe well unless propped up with
pillows in bed. The change OF air
on coming from outdoors into
stuffy, warm room, theater or church
brings on violent fits OF coughing
and mornings people troubled this
way are often forced to spit and
hawk for hours TO clear their throat
and nostrils OF accumulated mucus.
Specialists assert these are not
dangerous troubles unless neglected
too long, but they surely keep
person in pale, weak, nervous
headachy condition.
To easily relieve such condition
in even the most chronic cases, take
Earle's Hypo-Cod regularly for a
while. You accomplish two things
bv its use-you bring about a grad
nal and permanent relief and at the
same time strengthen and fortify
the system and lungs against a re-
