“On October 18th, last, my little
three year old daughter contracted a
severe cold which resulted in a bad case
of bronchitis,” says Mrs. W. G. Gibson,
Lexington, Ky. “She lost the power
of speech completely and was a very
sick child. Fortunately we had a bot

printed directions. On the second day
she was a great deal better, and on the
fifth day, October 23rd, she was entire

I attribute to this splendid medicine.
