COUGH IS YOUR
: DANGER SIGNAL

Chronic coughs and persistent colds
lead to serious lung trouble. You can
stop them now with Circumcision, an
emulsified ereosote that is pleasant to
take. Creomuision Is a new medical
discovery with twofold action; 1t soothes
and heals the inflamed membranes and
kills the germ.
OF all known drugs, creosote is rec
ognized by the medical fraternity as the
greatest healing agency for the treat
ment of chronic coughs and colds and
other forms OF throat and lung troubles.
Creomulsion contains, in addition to
creosots, other healing elements which
soothe and heal the inflamed mem
branes and stop the irritation and in
flammation, while the creosote goes on
to the stomach, is absorbed into the
blood, attacks the seat OF the trouble
and destroys the germs that lead to
consumption.
Creomulsion Is guaranteed satisfac-
tory in the treatment Of chronic coughs
and colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal
bronchitis and other forms OF throat
and lung diseases, and is excellent for
building up the system after colds or
the flu. Money refunded II any cough
OF cold, no matter of how long stand
ing, is not relieved after taking accord
ing to directions. Ask your druggist.

Wilson Proclaimed Doctrine
'Eleven years ago the Southern Com

Mr.. Hartwell. Then and there was
the doctrine proclaimed which gave a
new heart; new mind and new

Mr.. Hartwell paid tribute to Fred

iron to Mobile and yet have it sent to

Washington, d. c., Feb. 25th, 1924.
Dear Mr.. Swing:
l beg to acknowledge the receipt
of your letters Of January 18th, 1924
and January 24th, 1924 in which,
in further relation 20 vice condi-
tions along the international boun-
darv in Mexico, and particularly 1t
Tijuana and MeNicali, you suggest
that the cooperation OF the Mex
lean government be sought in an
effort to improve conditions.
The receip. is also acknowledged,
by reference from the White House,
of your letter of January cath, add
dressed TO the President, with re,
gard to the situation at Tijuana
and Mcyicali.
In reply 1 beg to inform you that
the seriousness of the conditions
which you depict is appreciated, and
to assure you that this department
will spare no effort TO correct
them 10 such extent as may be pos
sible by recourse to diplomatic meth
ods. However, it should be pointed
out that there are two important
phases to this question. First the
correction Of the abuses complain
ed of in SO far as they are the re-
suit of conditions existing in Mex
leo territory Is properly domestic
question calling for action by the
Mexican government, and second,
the amelioration of the situation by
placing restrictions on the transit
of American citizens desiring to
cross the border into Mexico would
appear to be subject for consid-
eration by congress within the scope
OF its. constitutional authority in
such matters,

Sincerely your,
