Many Not Going to Mountains This Season

Are you one of them? No? Well, we know you don't want to go, and you'd give almost anything to remove the cause that makes your trip neces- sary.
 Lots of folks write us that they have given up their plans to make their customary trip to the mountains, to Hay Fever conventions, etc. Instead they are now using Kolox, the only positive remedy for Hay Fever. If you too, are Hay Fever subject, you should also start using this remark able preparation. Start right now,- and prevent this seasons attack. Kolox makes good breathing. It fights the fever germ. It makes pos sible your stay at home all year round.
 If you already have faith in Kolox through recommendation, keep a dollar size with you continually. If you doubt kolox, why not get a trial size for 25c? The quantity is suffi- cient to prove to you just what Kolox has done for 999 out of every 1000 who have tried it. You have nothing g to lose and your health and comfort to gain, that's all. All druggists carry KOlox-Ady
