STOP THAT COLD!
' STOP IT NOW!
You Can Stop That Cold By Us
ing Dr. Cheney’s Expec
torant
Every day you allow a cold to re
main in your system you hold* the
door open to serious disease to walk
in. A cold saps your vitality, steals
your strength, weakens your pow
ers of resistance. The forerunner
of many contagious or infectious dis
eases is a plain ordinary cold that
ihas been neglected.
You can arrest that cold today—
you can throw it entirely out of
your system. Dr. Cheney’s Expec
torant breaks colds by removing the
source. A few spoonfuls of Dr.
'Wieriey’s Expectorant taken at in
tervals <sf two or three hours during
the day will route those sneezers and
sniffles, vanquish that hacking cough
and clear up that heavy, depressed
feeling in your head.
Sold by all druggists and in small
er towns by general flierchants -in
30c and 60c bottles. — (adv-11.)

a man who gave his name as Aid- ■

Officials declared that the attack
was a bold attempt to intimidate of
ficers in' this city and county, and
there is much indignation and excite
