My acquaintance with Boschee'M
German Syrup was made about four
teen years ago. I contracted a cold
which resulted in a hoarseness nnd
cough which disabled me from fill-in-
my pulpit for a number of Sab
baths. After trying a physician,
without obtaining relief I saw the
advertisement of your remedy and
obtained a bottle. I received quick
and permanent help. I never hesi
