COLDS THAT

P NEU MON|A

Chronic coughs and persistent colds
lead to serious lung trouble. You can
stop them now with Circumcision, an
emulsified creosote that is pleasant to
lake. Circumcision is q new medical
discovery with twofold action; It soothes
and heals the inflamed membranes and
kills the germ.
or 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
creosote, 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.
Circumcision 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

FORD EXPECTS
POSSIBLEOFFER
FROM CONGRESS
This Is Indicated In Sec.
retary's Letter To
Sheffield's Mayor
Muscle Shoals Bureau.)

SHEFFIELD, Ala, Nov. 3.-Appar-
emily Henry Ford has not lost all his
interests in Muscle Shoals if the letter
received by Mayor III. G. Roolhac of
Sheffield from q. G. Liebold, secretary
of Henry Ford, be taken as an indica-
ton of the Ford attitude toward the
disposition of Muscle Shoals.
Mr.. Leibold's letter was in reply to a
communication addressed to Henry
Ford stating the attitude of the people
of this district on the Ford ofefr and
the keen disappointment and regret
of the. people of the south, especially
the Muscle Shoals district caused by
the withdrawal of the Ford offer.
In concltetEg his letter to Mr.. Ford
Mayor Roulbac stated realizing this,
it is the hope of our people here and
I think of the masses throughout the
country that you will consent to make
a statement before congress meets in
dicating your willingness on the terms
formally made by you. In indicating
your willingness to undertake this work
we believe you will perform a great
public service"
Mr.. Leibold's reply follows: "Your
letter of October 25 addressed to Mr..
Ford, received. 1t is impossible for
us to delay our plans with reference
to Muscle Shoals any longer. 1t would
seem that after the matter has been
before the United States government
for three years we were entitled to some
consideration. Mr.. Ford has had no
assurance that the matter would be
favorably acted upon. Possibly con-
gress will have an offer which they
may wish to submit to Mr.. Ford in
which event same will be given prompt
attention. e. G. Leibold, secretary"
