Dear Editor—ln reading our last Republican I could not resist the pleasure of sending a recipe I have for whooping cough, a sure one, harmless and nice and pleasant to take. Four years ago when one of our children went to Miss Laura Bruce, whooping cough was very bad and our daughter had it. I feel safe in saying that persons who use this home remedy will not whoop while it is used. I' feel so sure and my interest at my home town is so hearty that I want you to print this recipe even if I have to pay for it. We have done very well since coming to North Dakota three years ago this spring. Have had good luck and can’t complain. Every country has its drawbacks if you try to find them. Things have been good for we Hoosiers, however. We have had a nice winter, no severely cold weather and very little snow, and we expect another good crop this year. Wfe are all well and have had no colds this winter. Wishing you an early spring and good fortune during the ensuing year, I remain, an old Indiana lover, L. H. MARKLEY. The Republican gives the recipe sent by Mrs. Markley without any knowledge of its virtue. Some times these old remedies are very effective. Persons who care to try this might consult their family physician, however, before doing so.
