WHO
COUGH
The f.hnf's st.
Dangerous Asease.
Whooping Cough, although specially a
disease of childhood, is by no means con-
futed to that period but may, occur at
any time of life, It is one of the most
dangerous diseases of infancy, and yearly
causes more deaths than scarlet fever,
typhoid or diphtheria, and is more
common in female than in hale children.
Whooping Cough starts with sneezing,
watering of : the eyes, irritation of , the
throat, feverishness and cough. • The
coughing attacks occur frequently but
are generally more severe at night.
On the first sign or "whoop," Dr.
Wood's Norway ,Pine Syrup should be
administered, and weeks of suffering
prevented, as it helps' to clear the bron-
chial tubes of (Inc collected mucous and
phlegm.
Mrs. Nellie Barley, Amheist,9 N.S.,
Writes: "I have much pleasure in sayliig
that there is no cougih syrup like Dr.
Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. My little
girt took whooping Dough from a little
girl who lute since died with it, X tried
lots of thingebut found 'Dr. 'Wood's'
to give the greatest relief. It heiped.lter
to raise the phlegm, and she is now better.
My young brother ie also taking the
cough, and I ant gettitig 'Dr. Wood'e' to
work again."
