TO QUICKLY CURE A
COUGH OR COLD
s.
A never failing home rem-
edy for coughs and colds is
made from the following for-
mula to be mixed at home:
"Two ounces of glycerine,
one-half ounce of Concentrat-
ed oil of pine, one-half pint
of good whiskey, mix and
shake thoroughly; use in doses
of a teaspoonful to a table-
spoonful every four hours."
This, if followed up, will
cure any cough that is curable
or break up an acute cold in 24
hours. The ingredients all can
be gotten at any drug store.
Concentrated oil of pine comes
put up for medicinal use only
in half ounce vials enclosed
in small, tin screw-top cases
' designed to protect it from
heat and light. The bulk oil
and the patent medicine imita-
tions sometimes put up in
wooden boxes, should be
avoided as they contain resin
and other impurities that pro-
duce nausea and permanent
kidney trouble. To get the
right article be sure it is the
"Concentrated" oil of pine as
this is really the only soluble
pine preparation known to sci-
ence and is the result of the
experiments made in the pine
forests of Maine where camps
were established for the treat-
ment of throat and lung dis-
eases and where so many re-
markable cures were effected

Dear Sir. I am directed by Mr.

of the estate of Henry Weinhard, to
ay that his personal observation as
well as the reports which he has re
ceived at regular intervals, convinced
him, that the work, which the execu

the Chamber of Commerce of your
city has so vigorously prosecuted, is
howing most satisfactory results. He
has formed a most flattering opinion
of your publicity manager, Mr.
Whyte, and there is no question in

directs me to say further, that out

acquisition of real estate and other
investments, while on a safe and non
speculative basis, has been made not
so much with a view of large profits,

Bed-ridden Sufferer Completely Cured
by Use of D. D. D. External Wash.
One of the most remarkable
Eczema cures,rccently credited to the
well known D. D. D. Prescription has
just been recorded in Chicago.
Mrs. E. Hcgg, 1550 West Mad unn
street, under date of December 9,
1907, writes as follows:
"I suffered three years with Weep
ing Eczema. It started with a little
spot on my knees and spread fast
over my whole body. I spent hun-
ulnars anu went to every
good doctor I heard of, but kept get
ting worse. Nothing would stop the
awful itch and burning.
"I had to stay in bed from the
middle of May to the middle of July.
Then I tried D. D. D. Prescription.
This is the 9th of December and I
am entirely free from the terrible
disease. D. D. D. saved my life.
"When I began this treatment, peo
ple were afraid of me I looked so
terrible. My husband was the only
one who would take care of me.
D. D. D. stopped the itch at once so
I could sleep, which I had not done
before. Then I began to get better
fast and now my skin is clear and
white, not a spot anywhere."
Just a few drops of D. D. D. Pre
scription applied to the skin brings
relief nothing to swallow or drink.
We vouch for D. D, D. Prescription,
also the cleansing D. D. Soap, Chas.
Rogers & Son, druggists. Get a bottle
today if you have any skin disease.
Begin your cure at once.
At two yards I discovered what It
was an Immeuse crocodile more than
twelve feet long.
I was right In Its path, and there was
no possible escape on either side, so I :
stood still with my rifle at shoulder;
and waited. The "crock" did not wait, j
however, and In some remarkable way
It hustled me to on side, almost knock
ed me over, and ecdeavored to make bis
way to the wuter.
To dispute bU right of way would
have been folly. ! realised only a hor
rlble, soft, wriggling mass pressing
agalnij niy legsria most sickening
way. Why be tluTnot bite me I do not
knoyr At first I thought be had done
so as be brushed against my teg, but I
found It was only bis horny scales that
craped my shin. And be was more
taken by surprise than I was and for
got all about his bnge jaw and the
lasting Impression he might have made
apon my legs.
After be bad passed I turned to see
now the men would fare. Cms bad got
back to the shore and so was no longer
In view. The other man with the cam
era was the funniest sight His head
was stuck fast In the thick brambles,
and his legs were In the air, the cam
era of course In the mud beside him.
I do not think the "crock" could have
seen him, for be had literally taken
header into the bush, and bis legs wers
tar above tbe crocodile's Jaws.

"I have been a sick man for five
years. Three years ago I was told
by a physician that 1 had Bright's
Disease of the kidneys, t have .treat
ed constantly for this"- trouble since,
without results. After reading the
article I have mentioned, I purchased
some of this man Cooper's medicine.
I have been astounded by what it
has done for me. I was relieved to
some extent within 24 hours. Today
my health is better than for five years,
and so far as I can tell, my kidney
tremble has disappeared.
"My wife, who had stomach trouble
for some time, tried the preparation"
after noting its action in my case, and
her improvement is fully, as marked
as mine. She now eats heartilv thr.
times a day without any distress

also left her. I certainly believe this
man's success is fully justified, ar he
undoubtedly has a wonderful medi
cine." We will gladly describe the re
markable record made by the Cooper
medicines to all who wish to know of
them, Chas. Rogers & Son.
One of the most interesting state
incuts made recently concerning the
much discussed Cooper theory, that
has spread over the country during
the past year, is made by E. II. Lam
bert, a retired business man, whose
home is at 115 Francis street, Everett,
Mass.
Mr. Lambert has this to say in con
nection with Cooper and his medi
cines: "Some time ago I read an ar
ticle about this man Cooper, in which
he claimed that stomach trouble was
directly responsible for most ill
health, He went on to say that, al
though his medicine did nothing but
get the stomach in sound condition,
it would, in many cases, remove kidney
and liver trouble and various other
ailments. He argued from this that
the stomach was the main cause of
sickness, and stated that the success
he has had with his medicines was
due entirely to this fact. '
"I am now fully convinced that
this theory is correct, and believe
Cooper has a reallv remarkable medi
cine, judging trom my own experience.
