The Good Old Way, A severe cold or attack of la grippe is like a fire, the sooner you combat it the better your chances are, to overpower it. But few mothers in this age are willing to do the necessary work required to give a good oldfashioned reliable treatment such as would be administered by their grandmothers, backed by Boschee's German Syrup, which was always lib erally used in connection with the home treatment of colds and is still in greater household favor than any known remedy. But even without the application of the old-fashioned aids German Syrup will cure a severe cold in quick time. It will cure colds in children or grown people.

It relieves the congested organs, allays the irritation, and effectively stops the cough Any child will take it. It is invaluable in a household of children. Trial size bottle, 25c; regular size 75c. At all druggists. D.
