An old physician, retired from practice, having had placed in his hands by an East India missionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy tor the speedy and perma- nent cure of consumption, bronchitis, ca- tarrh, asthma, and all throat and lung affec- tions, also a posititive and radical cure for nervous debility and all nervous complaints, after having tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering fel- lows.

In our style of climate, with it3 sudden changes of temperature, rain, wind and sunshine often intermingled in a single day, it Is no wonder that our children, friends and relatives are so frequently taken from us by neglected colds, half the deaths re- sulting directly from this cause. A bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept about your home for immediate use will prevent serious sickness, a large doctor's bill, and perhaps death, by the use of three or four doses. For curing Consumption, Hem- orrhages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Croup or any disease of the Throat or Lungs, its success is simply wonderful, as your drug, gist will tell you.

Actuated by this motive, and a desireto relieve human suffering, I will send, freeof charge, to all who desire it, this recipe inGerman, French or English, with full direc-tions for preparing and using.

A General Hint.In our style of climate, with it3 sudden

changes of temperature, rain, wind andsunshine often intermingled in a single day,

it Is no wonder that our children, friendsand relatives are so frequently taken fromus by neglected colds, half the deaths re-

sulting directly from this cause. A bottleof Boschee's German Syrup kept aboutyour home for immediate use will preventserious sickness, a large doctor's bill, andperhaps death, by the use of three or fourdoses. For curing Consumption, Hem-

orrhages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Croupor any disease of the Throat or Lungs, itssuccess is simply wonderful, as your drug,gist will tell you. German Syrup is nowgold in every town and Tillage on this con-
