COUGHING BURST BLOOD VESSEL
Says
Cures
Danger Avoided . and
Coughs in S Hours. A writer for the medical pres
states that coughing is responsible for
the bursting of blood vessels quite frequently. A cough or cold means inflammation (fever) and congestion and these in tarn indicate tht the body Is full of poisons and waste matter. Simple relief, as found In patent cough medicines, and whiskey, often result In more harm than good; as they cause more congestion. ' A toniclaxative cough syrup will work' marvels and here follows a prescription which is ' becoming famous for its prompt relief and thorough cures. ' It rids ' the system of the cause,' except it be consumption. Don't wait' for consumption to grasp its victim, but begin this treatment which cures some in five hours. ' Mix in a bottle, one-half ounce fluid wild cherry bark." one ounce compound essence cardlol and three ounces syrup white pine compound. Take twenty drops every half hour for four hours. Thea onehalf to one teaspoonful three or four times a day untikthe system is purified and toned up. Give children less according to age.

"The ' Black , Diamond,9' t a - coal ; trade journal, published v In JChlcano, jives Mather Bros! Co. a very complimentary notice in the last issue of the paper, on their giving a car of coal away on Christmas morning.
Just before Christn:a3 an advertise-' ment was inserted in the Richmond papers saying that on Christmas morning the Mather Bros." Company would give away a car of coal. Anyone could come and get as mtrch as they could carry away. No teams or wagons were permitted, but all bans were taken off wheelbarrows, sacks, baskets, pans or other receptacles. Before the yard gates were opened a p!atfc.rm had Been -built aiound a thirty-ton car of coal. Then the public was let In and ia an hour and two minutes the last bit of coal had disappeared. The following description cf the scene on Christmas morning is taken from the Richmond Palladium: "All sexes and ail classes were represented in the crowd of about people pushing baby carriages, wheel barrows, go-carts, carrying boxes, seeks and baskets, that assembled near" the Mather Bros.' coal yards early Christmas morning to secure part of the car
load of coiI which the firm adrertised
would be given away. The lare car holding thirty tons, was' emptied by the good-natured and thoroughty cosmopolitan crowd in little over an hour. "When the gates were opened the crowd cheered and swept toward the car. all elbowing, laughing but still determined to get their share of the car's contents.' Men and women alike struggled, but there was no ill feeling at any time. Big strong men and women also stepped back and alowed the children to tecure their share of the cca!. This Christmas spirit was one of the features of the entire affair. "It is estimated by the firm that at least three hundred poor families of the city were benefited and the coal company is receiving much praise for its .action. Those securing the fuel were all very thankful to the management. The affair was both unique and commendable. TRAVELER.
