The Savodine Co., New Bern, N. C.
We have derived so much benefit
from the use of SAVODINE, that we
wish to add our testimony to the list of
those already acquainted with its mer
its. My wife has been using SAVODINE for
quite a while for cold in the head, also
has found it a ready relief for CATARRH
but above all that, is the fact of its
having proved itself invaluable to us for
our baby. A short time ago.he was ta
ken very sick, and as he would clap his
little hands to his ear. we decided he
must be suffering with earache, and re
alizing that something must be done at
once, we put a tiny bit of SAVODINE in
' his ear covered it with warm cotton and
in a few minutes he was sleeping as
sweetly as though he bad never had a
pain. We cheerfully recommend Savo
dine as we will always feel grateful for
what it has done for us.

evident to him that murder had been

"Yes." " "What character does she
bear?" "She bore a very gooi charac

For the brain worker who does not

recreation. It has often occurred to
us that In cases where there is any
reason to fear some form of paralysis
the educating of disused , cerebral,

rapid and complex movements requir

an efficient preventive. .
We do not wish to claim too much
