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."
Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup is
