Is a Prescription for Colds,
fever and LaGrippe. It’s the
most speedy remedy we know, j three
preventing Pneumonia.
7m, proven remedy
checks colds before they de
velop into serious ailments. It
soothes tired, scratchy throats,
loosens disagreeable phlegm
and soon breaks up the cold.
Now—don't let your cold linger
on—ask your druggist for
DaKIN(?S&EKv
-a syrup for coughs & colds
If you can sit still and smile
a sweet smile fhen a guy inva
des your thinkery while you are
trying hard to think, and just
as the precious idea flits into
your mind, he asks you for a
cigarette and you give him your
pack which he absent mindedly
slips into his pocket and then
proceeds to take a seat on your
Sunday hat that is lying upon
your writing desk and with a
careless swee pof his coattails
upsets the bottle of ink which
spoils most of your stationery
and musses up your morning
mail, and then borrows two or
fyour papers out of
which you wish to glean some
bit of news or another idea; I
say , if you can kepe smiling
under those circumstances and
tell him to call again when he
finally takes a notion to leave,
then you have our kind of relig
ion.—Sparta Tribune.
