Whooping cough is the mean
est" disease that childhood is
heir to. While rarely fatal in
itself, except to children under
two years of age, still it hangs on
solong -the coughing paroxysms
are SO violent, preventing proper
sleep and digestion that when
the disease does disappear it
leaves the child weakened and
run down. In addition the
violent coughing racksand strains
the air passages and after re-
covery this irritation frequently
remains.
During this period Of conval-
cscence the child should be most
carefully watched until full
strength is restored and the air
passages regain their normal tone.
A prominent authority even goes
60 far as to say There is more
criminal neglect in connection
with whooping cough than with
any other disease"
While the disease is active,
Vick's VapoRub usually helps to
lessen the violence Of the cough
ing, but it is during conval-
escence that Vicks is most val

He bought a big lot Of Mems,

some six months ago at a.
price a little more than half
the price is now.
He says these goods have JUST
come in after a lot of sweat
ing on his part to get the fac-'
tory to fill the order.
He says any body can havel
these hose at the prices he in-i
tended to sell them before'
the advance in cost.
He says you better buy a doz-|
en- pairs for each member of
the family.
He says if you buy any gro-|
ceries from him and they are
not fresh and first class -
they are his and not yours
send them back.
He says his hardware stock
is so nearly Complete that
he doesn't believe you'll fail
to find just what you want.
He says it hurts him SO bad
for somebody to call for some
thing he hasn't got that he
tries to have it when they
call.
He says if you find out you
hav'nt gotten one dollars
worth for every cent you pay
him for-just let him know
and he'll give you the differ
ence in cash.
