Terribly wearing on the system is .
the cough that comes on at night
and prevents sleep.
Sometimes it is the constant cough,
cough that will hot be quieted.
Sometimes it is a choked-up, stuffed-
up feeling that makes breathing
difficult. ,
Er. Wood’s Norway Pine Syrup is
the remedy you need to give you
relief, for the reason that this prep
aration contains the healing virtues
of the Norway pine tree with which •

rubbing his throat and chest with

relieves irritation, clears air pas

Every year when I pack
my big Christmas bag, I
notice how Electrical Gifts
have come down, down,
down in price. And that’s
only half the story. At
today’s low cost for
Hydro service, it’s so very cheap to operate them!
YES; Santa Claus is right! Electrical Gifts permanently add to better
living ... and they lead to lower living costs! Today, due to Hydro’$
consistent cost reductions, the average Ontario family can use and
en|oy nearly EIGHT times the amount of Hydro power Service for only
TWICE the monthly bill of twenty-five years ago! That’S why electricity
is your biggest bargain.
