Mothers snould always keep in good bodily health. They owe it to their children. Yet it is no unusual sight to see a mother, with babe in arms, cough­ ing violently and exhibiting all the symp­ toms of a consumptive tendency. And why should this dangerous condition ex­ ist, dangerous alike to mother and child, when Dr. Boshee's German Syrup would put a stop to it at once? No mother should be without this old and tried remedy in the house--for its timely nse will promptly cure pny lung, throat or bronchial trouble iri herself or her chil­ dren. The worst cough or cold can be speedily cured by German Syrnp; so can hoarseness and congestion of the bron­ chial tnbes. It makes expectoration easy, and gives instant relief and re­ freshing rest to the cough-racked con­ sumptive. New trial bottles, 35c; large size, 75c.

A Continual Strain. Many men and women are constantly subjected to what they commonly term "a continual strain" because of some financial or family trouble. It wears and distresses them both mentally and physically, affecting then nerves badly and bringing on liver and kidney com­ plaints, with the attendant evils of con­ stipation. loss of appetite, sleeplessness, low vitality and despondency. They caunot, as a rule, get rid of this "con­ tinual strain," but they can remedy its health-destroying effects by taking fre­ quent doses of Green's August Flower. It tones up the liver, stimulates the kid­ neys. insures healthy bodily fpuctions, gives vim and spirit to one's yhole be­ ing, and eventnally dispels the mental or physical distress caused by that "con­ tinual strain."

The International Live Stock show opens this year under conditions more favorable than ever. The Coliseum, a handsome new structure built for this purpose, will be completed and nsed for the first tiuig. The display of live stock is to be so complete that it promises to excel the perfections of former ye^rs. Professor Herbert W. Munford of Illi­ nois is quoted in the following short but pithy comment on the International: "It is at the International that breeders and buyers mingle to mutual advan­ tage. The breeder becomes better in­ formed as to approved market types, and thuN the International becomes a potent factor in giving direction to the breeders' efforts toward live stock im­ provement.

Peter Fry, Woodruff, Pa., writes: "After doctoring for 1 w > years with the best physicians in Waynesburg, and still getting worse, the doctors advised me if I had any business to attend to I bad better attend to it at once, as I could not possibly live another month as there was no cure for me. Foley's Kidney Cure wasrecommendedtome by a friend, and I immediately sent my son to the store for it, and after taking three bottles I began to get better and continued to improve until I was entire­ ly well."
