A few weeks ago the editor was taken with a severe cold that caused him to be in a most miserable condition. It was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe and recognizing it as dangerous he took immediate steps to bring about a speedy cure. From the advertisement of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and the many good recommendations included therein, we concluded to make a first trial of the medicine. To say that it was satisfactory in its resits, is putting it very mildly, indeed. It acted I'ke magic and the result was a speedy and permanent cure.

"I have never had a days sickness in my life,” said a middle-aged man thejother day “What a comfort it would be,” sighs some poor invalid, "to be in his place for a year or two.” Yet half the invalids we see might be just as healthy as he, if they would only take proper care of themselves, eat proper food —and digest it. It’s so strange that such simple things are overlooked by those who want -health. Food makes health. It makes strength-and strength wards off sickness. The man who had never been sick was strong because he always digested his food, and you could become the same by helping your stomach to work as well as his. Shaker Digestive Cordial will help your stomach and make you strong and healty by making the food you eat make you fat. Druggists sell it.
