DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP?
A cheap remedy for coughs and colds
is all right, but you want something
that will relieve and cure the more
severe and dangerous results of throat
and lung troubles. What shall you do?
Go to a warmer and more regular eli-
J-Juate? Yes, if possible; if not possible
for you, then in either case take the on
ly remedy that has been introduced in
all civilized countries with success in
severe throat and lung troubles, "Bos
chee'8 German Syrup." It not only
heals and stimulates the tisstfes to de
stroy the germ disease, but allays in
flammation, causes easy expectoration,
gives a good night's rest, and cures the
patfent. Try one bottle. Ilecommend
ed many years by all druggists in the
world. For sale by Turner & Berry or
