A tickling cough from any cause. Is guickly ■topped by Dr. Sboop's Cough Cure. And it la thoroughly harmless and safe, that Dr. Shoop tells mothers everywhere to give it without hesitation even to very young babies. The wholesome green leaves and tender ■terns of a lung-healing mountainous shrub, furnish the curative properties to Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. It calms the cough, and heals the tore and sensitive bronchial membranes. No opium, no chloroform, nothing harsh used to injure or suppress. Simply a resinous plant extract, that helps to heal aohing lungs. The Spaniards call this shrub which the Doctor uses, “The Sabred Herb.” Demand Dr. Sboop’s, Take no'other. A. F. Long.
