Check the Mrst Sign of a Cold •
By Using
WO OD'S
NORWAY PINE SYRUP.
A cold, if neglected, will sooner or Wet
develop into some sore 'of lung trouble,
so we would advice you that on the first
sign of a cold or cough you get rid of it
immediately. Vor this purpose we know
of nothing better than Dr. Wood's
Norway Pine Syrup. . This preparation
has been on the market for the past
twenty-five years, and those who have
used it have nothing but words of praise
for its eflScacy.
Mrs. H. N. Gin, Truro, NS., writes:
"Last January, 1913, X developed an
awful cold, and it hung jen to me for so
long I was afraid it eiould- turn into
consumption. I would go to bed nights,
and could not get any sleep at all for the
choking feeling in my throat and lungs,
and sometimes I would cough till I
would turn. black in the face. A friend
came to see me, and told me of your
remedy, Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup.
I got a bottle of it, and after I had taken
it I could see a great'change for the better,
so I got another, and when I had taken
the two bottles my cough was all gone,
• and I have never had an attack of it since,
and that is now a year ago."
Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup is put
up in a yellow wrapper; three pine trees
the trade mark; and price, 25e and 50e.
It is manufactured only by The T.
Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont.

I had beard, (before ,I (started, of ves-
sels taking 15 ;and ,16 days to cross
because of their lights being out at
night, causing slow travel, so 'that 1
cannot eay I expected a very short
trip. Wehrealized nothing of this. Our
lights were as usual at night and -we
sailed as if no twar was on. We met
a few crulidri ,and saluted them. We
saw the cruisers that were watching
the enerchandise going in and out of.

errnbark until Sunday morning, ,and

We, however, got throaga our cus

dal" for Easton by 10.30. '
We then crcssed London in a taxi,
and lentrained again for Westeliffe-oa-

We tare now in the thick of wee
scenes. The town is full -really full -of
soldiers. %Every house has them billete.d
on them. Every empty store has camp
beds, every institute, hotel and even
schools have the soldiers with them.
There is one very large hotel on the
sea front;(this is taken over by the
'government,and is full of Belgian
wounded. We speak with them every
day. Other hotels and institutes are
taken for ;oar own wounded. A.l1 round

MACISTRATE SPEAKS FOR ZAM-BUK
. -
Magistrate Perry, of Go1dfieId L C., believes in making a
good- thing known. Writing of Zam-Buk, the great household
balm, he says :-."After a very fair trial I have proved Zam-13'uk
eminently satisfactory. In my case it cured a skin rash of fir
years' standing which no doctor had been able to do any good
for. I would certainly encourage any person to keep Zam-Buk
in his home." The magistrate is quite right. Every home needs
Zara-Bukt Unequalled for cuts burns, bruises'eczema, blood
poisoning and all skin diseases. All stores and druggists sell it at
so cents a box. Sure cure for piles.
• -
DON'T NEGLECT THAT SORE!
A Chicago man has just died from blood poison-
ing arising from neglect of a small sore. Don't
neglect a cut, a patch of eczema, or an open sore
of any kind.* The air is fell of poison germs,
waiting to start up their evil results in neglected
sores,. wounds'etc. In Zatu-Buk is safety. Zam-
Buk is so highly „antiseptic that applied to any
- skindisease or injury it makes blood poisoning im-
possible. In using Zam-Buk you have three
prodesses going on at once for Zam-Buk is healing
soothing and antiseptic, Try it Without delay.
