new COLD TREATMENT
] BRINGS QUICK RELIEF

Grippe misery. The very first dose
unstops the head, relieves difficult
breathing and penetrates deep down
into the air passages. 1t also checks
running of the nose, relieves those
dull headaches, sneezing, and the few
erishnes5 which so often accompanies
a cold. Don't stay stuffed up. Clear
your congested head. No other rem
edy brings such prompt relief.
DR.. Smathers' Kurokol contains no
quinine or nauseating harmful drugs.
1t has a soothing effect on inflamed
mucous membranes of the nose,
throat and bronchial tubes, and a
gratifying feeling of relief takes the
place of distress and discomfort. DIR.
Smathers' Kurokol relieves a cold by
removing the cause. 1t is q combi-
nation treatment, and acts as an an
tipyretic, expectorant, laxative and
antiseptic. .
The next time you have a cold go
to your nearest druggist and ask for
a bottle of DR.. Smathers' Kurollol.
Have the clerk open it on the spot,
take a teaspoonful, repeat the dose
in an hour and again in two hours. If
you are not surprised and delighted
with the result, go back to your drug
gist and he will refund your money
without question.
All drug stores are now supplied
with this wonderful new prescrip-

As a prevention of future wars"
He declared that despite its fear-in-
sriring reputation, poison gas was
neither diabolical nor even horrible"
BAYONET WARFARE
MUCH MORE DREADFUL.
Poison gas is not near as dreadful as
bayonet warfare" he said. Compared
to the effects of high explosive shells, 1t
was mild form Of warfare. OF all Amer
lean soldiers blinded in the World War,
only $50 per cent were caused by gas.
1T ~ said gassed soldiers are tuber-
cular. The records show that only 2.5
per cent in every 1000 of gassed casual
ties contracted tuberculosis, while A per
1000 among all other casualties, and the
unwOunded as well, were stricken in the
same time with the same disease"
General Fries appealed for continued
preparation In gas warfare. America, he
said, can remain in the fore rank among
the prepared nations" by developing the
coal tar industry, from which the gases
are obtained by protecting dyestuffs and
developing a trained body of technical
experts. Copyright, 1921, ~by Interna-
