The judge said he could not do it,
as the law forbade him to issue a

such a test of its curative qualities
as Boschee’s German Syrup. In three

were distributed free of charge by
Druggists in this country to tho_se
afflicted with Consumption, Asthma,
Croup, severe Coughs, Pneumonia

undeniable proof that German Syrup
will euro them. The result has been
that Druggists in every town and
