Night Coughing
Stopped Quickly By
Simple Treatment

Thousands who are troubled with
persistent coughing at night, which
BY robbing them Of valuable sleep
weakenS their systems and lays
them open to dangerous infections,
can quickly act to prevent this dan
ger through a very simple. treat
Tnent. People who have hardly been
able to rest at all on account of
coughing spells have found they can
sleep the whole night through UNI
disturbed often the first time they
try it.
The treatment is based on re-
markable prescription known as DR..
Kings New Discovery for Coughs.
You simply take a teaspoonful at
night before retiring, and hold 1t in
your throat for Is or 20 seconds be-
fore swallowing it, without follow
ing with water. The prescription
has double action. 1t not only
soothes and heals soreness and irri-
tation, but it quickly loosens and
removes the phlegm and congestion
which are the direct cause of the
coughing. The result is you usually
sleep soundly the very first night,
and the entire cough condition goes
in a very short time.
The prescription is highly recon-
mended for coughs, chest colds,
hoarsenesS, and bronchitis, and is
wonderful for children's coughs and
spasmodic croup-no harmful drugs.
Economical, too, as the dose is only
one teaspoonful. At all good drug.

 ing-Largc Audience sees "Whitc Gold" Presented.

Discoveries of Judge William j. Malone and Rev. John D. Mccarthy of the Jesuit order on their recent trip through the wilds of Labrador to the famous Little Falls, will be narrated on Monday night in St. Joseph's Guild hall when the two explorers will present motion pie lures and tell of their experiences. Because of changes in maps, made necessary by the discoveries of the Malone party, the trip has great typographical significance. As far as records show, only 12 white men have ever visited the famous Little Falls, which are rcputed as greater than Niagara. Among the motion picture scenes will be one showing | Father Mccarthy celebrating mass on the brink of a precipice nearly 25o feet above the rapids of Grand River. This is the first mass ever celebrated !n the interior of Labra- dor
 Judge Malone and Father McCar- thy separated in the early part of September as Father Mccarthy had to resume his duties with his order. After their separation, Judge Malone pushed on and reached the south eastern shores of Lake Michaka- manX, being the only white man to ! have penetrated that far.
 Al present, Father Mccarthy Is at st. Joseph's church with the Jesuit missionaries, who are conducting a two weeks mission at the church. This will be the first opportunity for the priest and Judge Malone 10 ap- pear together in this city in joint narration of their experiences in Labrador.
