Bad Coughs

~ “ I bad a bad cough for six weeks and could find no relief until I tried Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. Only one-fourth of the bodfe cured me.” L. Hawn, Newington, Ont.,

Neglected colds always lead to something serious. They run into chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, or consumption. Don’t wait, but take Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral Just as soon as your cough begins. A few doses will cure you then. Ttntabcs: ac..ac^Sl- an StmliU.

Famine conditions exist in the market for pig iron. It is doubtful whether there wai ever a time in the history of the nation when this metal was so gcarce, despite the fact that the production for tgot beat all previous records. Compared with, the erratic course of the cereals during the preceding month or two, produce markets have been quiet this week.

" Dear Mrs. Pinkham : — Your Vegetable Compound cured me of womb trouble from which I had been a great sufferer for nearly three years. During that time I was very irregular and would often have intense pain in the small of my back, and blinding headaches and severe cramps. For three months I used Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and aches and pains arc as a past memory, while health and happiness is my daily experience now. You certainly have one grateful friend in Emporia, and I have praised your Vegetable Compound to a large number of my friends. You have my permission to publish my testimonial in connection with my picture.

Yours sincerely. Miss Marion Cunningham, Emporia, Kans.”
