It is the duty of every person who has

wonderful qualities be known to their
person can use it without immediate re- |

and we consider it the duty of all Drug-
gists to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle,
as 80,000 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and not one case where it failed was re-
portde. Bach a medicine as the German
Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask
your druggist about it. Sample bottles
to try, sold at 10 cents. Regular size, 75
