Whooping Cough starts with sneezing, watering of the eyes, irritation of the tietoat, feverishness and cough. The coughing attacks occur frequently but ar generally more severe at night.

Mrs. Nellie Barley, Amherst," N.S., writes; "T have much pleasure in saying that there is no cough syrup like Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. My little girl took whooping cough from a little girl who has since died with it. I tried lots of things but found 'Dr. Wood's' to give the greatest relief. It helped her to raise the phlegm, and she is now better. My young brother is also taking the cough, and I am getting 'Dr, Wood's' to work again."
