There is a. raising of phlegm, es- pecially in the morning after rising | from bed. This phlegm is at first of | a light color, but as the trouble pro- gresses it becomes of a yellowish or greenish color and is "sometimes streaked with blood. In DR. WOOD'S NORWAY PINE SYRUP you will find a remedy that will stimulate the weakened bronchial or- gans, subdue. the inflammation, - soothe the irritated parts, loosen the phlegm and mucous, and help nature to easily dislodge the morbid accu- mulation. : Mr. John H. Root, 40. Maple Ave, Hamilton, Oat., writes:-- "I was troubled with bYenchitis and had a very bad cough. I had it so long I was beginning to get afraid of other ' dpvelopments. I tried all kinds of cough remedies without relief. I was advised by a'friend to try Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, so I got a bottle, and it convinced me to believe that I had at last gotten the right medicine, I used several bottles and am prac- tically well. I have recommended it 1c others since, and good results fol- lowed." Be sure and get "Dr. Wood's" when you ask for it; price 36c. and 60c. 4 bottle; put up only by The T.

As a parent, Kennicott was moved to establish the first child-welfare week held in Gopher Prairie. Carol helped him. weigh babies and exam- ine throats, and she wrote out the diets for mute German and Scandin- avian mothers. The aristocracy of Gopher Prairie, even the wives of the rival doctors, took part, and for several days there was community spirit and rauah up- lift.
