DANGER SIGNAL.
If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? It is much the same
way with a cough. A cough is a dan
ger signal as much as a fire bell. You (
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop a fire bell when it is ringing,
but should cure the disease that
causes the coughing. This can nearly
always be done by taking Chamber
h.rn's Cough Remedy. Many have
used it with the most beneficial re
sults. It is especially valuable for the
persistent cough that so often follows
a bad cold or an attack of the grip.
Mrs. Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind., ,
writes: "During the winter my
husband takes cold easily and coughs
and coughs. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the best medicine for
breaking up these attacks and you
cannot get him to take -any other." I

210 POUND PIGS
With corn above 50 cents, hogs eat
their heads off very quickly. The hog
that takes two or three months to get
on full feed never brings you a profit.
When you are ready to put your
shoats on feed, begin with the B. A.
Thomas Hog Medicine. Use regular
ly and watch your shoats round out
into fat hogs in nine months-hogs
going well over 200 pounds and as
high as 240 pounds. Figure the av
erage feeding and you will see why
the B. A. Thomas medicine is a good
investment. Try feeding out your
hogs on this plan and if you are not
more than pleased, we will refund
the cost of the medicine.-Welsh

NERVOUS WOMEN.
When the nervousness is caused by

will get quick relief by taking Cham

SCRAWNY CALVES.
What makes a calf scrawny-off
its feed? Germs-parasites-in the
intestines. Why not free them of
this trouble? If you will give the'
calf some B. A. Thomas Stock Rem
cdy in its feed, within a week you
will see it brighten up and in four
or five weeks you won't know the
calf. Costs you but a few cents and
we will refund that if it doesn't do
as we say.-Welsh Warehouse Co.,
