Whooping Cough, although specially a disease of childhood, is by no means con- fined to that period but may occur at any time of life, It is one of the moat dangerous diseases of infancy, and yearly causes more deaths than scarlet fever, typhoid or diphtheria o and is more common in female than in male 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 of a "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 the collected mucous and phlegm. Mrs. Nellie Barley, Amherst,' writes: "I have much pleasure in saying that there is no cough syrttp like Dr. Wood's Norwa3 Pine Syrup, My little girl took whooping cough from' a little girl who has since died with it. 5 tried lots of things but found '3)r. Wood's' to give the greatest relief. It helped her to raise the phlegm, and she 15 12010 better. My young brother is also taking the cough, and I am getting '33r. Wood's' to work again."
