It's this night coughing that breaks up '
down. keeping us awake most of the time
and annoying every body in the house.
Lots of people dont begin to couch until
they go to bed. It gets to be so that re-
tiring for the night is an empty form, for
they cannot rest.
Adamson‘s Botanic Cough Balsam
makes life worth living to such people by
when the use of the Balsam is begun and
the irritation goes with it. This medicine
for cough hasn’t a disagreeable thing
about is, and it does efflzient service in
breaking up coughs otlong standing. It
is prepared from barks and roots and
gums of trees, and isa true specific fort
throat troubles. _
Han iling coughs is a science that every
one should learn. Not knowing how to
treat them has cost many fortunes and
many lives. In Adamson’s Balsam there
are the elements which not only _heal
inflamation, but which protect the lnfla-_
med parts from further irritation. The
result of this is that the tendency to
cough does not manifest itself, and you
are surprised at it. Afterwards you
would not he without Adamson’s Balsam
at hand. This remedy can be tested. Zo
