New Method
Quickly BallisEles
Heavy Coughs

Why be annoyed and weakened by
persistent, strengthening coughing
spells when you can, through a very
simple treatment, quickly stop all irri-
tation and very often Danish the trouble
entirely in "a hours?
This treatment is based on the ia.
nous prescription known as DR.. Kings
New Discovery for Coughs. You take
just one teaspoonful at bed time and
hold it in your throat for Is or 20 sec
onds before swallowing it. The pre-.
scription has a double action. 1t not
only soothes and heals soreness and
irritation, but it quickly removes the
phlegm and congestion which are the
real cause of night coughing. Thus,
with the throat soothed and cleared,
coughing stops quickly and you sleep
all night undisturbed.
DR.. Kings New Discovery is for
coughs, chest colds, sore throat, hoarse.

Fine for children as well as grown

Is his Job to prevent accidents and dis
ease, says DR.. J. Howard Beard In
Hygeia Magazine.
In the old days Of the one-horse
shay, the physician was responsible
for the health of the entire commu-
nifty Medical science has advanced
tremendously since then. So has In

ease conditions have been brought I'M
der control, countless new ones have
arisen as the result of the rise of In

Fast trains and airplanes are as
much at the disposal of disease germs
as of human beings. While large
cities foster clinics and medical
schools and. hospitals, they also fos-
ter unhygienic living conditions, ac-
cidents and illness.
The physician can 10 longer handle
the situation alone, in spite of his
greatly increased knowledge. He
must have the cooperation of every
citizen in the community. 1t is the
average citizen who can and should
insist on the adoption of public health
measures, on the health education Of
school children and adults, and on the
