A most effectual home remedy is inhaling the smoke of burning rosin. The powdered rosin is placed on the heated surface of steel plate or the bottom of a pan. The patient bends over the cloud of smoke, inhaling it with long breaths. It will rarely cause the patient to cough. The effect is soothing and relief is felt almost immediately. The smoke must be inhaled not less than three times a day at regular intervals. Camphor ice, well rubbed into the chest, will greatly hurry the recovery of the patient. If this simple method of treatment is followed persistently, it will rout the most irritating cough. It has many times prevented the development of tuberculosis, and there are patients who claim that tuberculosis had been stepped and the lesions healed with this treatment. —From Healthy Babies in the August Uplift Magazine.

"CURED OF TUBERCULOSIS” DECLARES YOUNG WOMAN <■ jj Ir#’ ELLA HASFURTER. The many friends of Ella IhiHfurter. Millgrove, N. Y . are congratulating her on her remarkable recovery from tuberculosis due to the use, of the wonderful medicine, Nature’s Creation. Although given up to die, she is now enjoying good health. On May 11, 1914, Miss Hasfurter wrote us as follows: "In 1911 I had a cold and the grip which kept getting worse. My dr.et ir said 1 had a bronchial cough My appetite was poor, 1 coughed continually and <lid not have any strength or ambition. Finally a doctor at Buffalo said I hud tuberculosis and that ho could not do anything for me unless 1 would g" to the mountains. He also told me. if I did not go, 1 would be ‘planted’ by the following spring. I had a hollow cavity in my lung. 1 did not go to the mountains, but began taking Nature’s Creation, which worked wonderfully. My appetite began to improve, the terrible rattling in my chest left and never bothered me again. I gained in weight from 89 pounds to 10S» and began to enjoy life once more. After taking about six bottles, I felt well, but I took ten bottles and was cured. 1 owe my life to Nature’s Creation." The original letter from Miss Hasfurter is on file in our office and, along with hundreds just as convincing, is open to the public. I will pay SI,OOO to anyone proving I ever paid one rent for any of these testimonials. If interested in the cure and prevention of tuberculosis and the conditions leading to it—such as asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, run down sy. tern and impure blood, please for the sake of your health, write to-day for free copy of Nature’s Creation’s latest and greatest booklet, "Truth."
