JULY COLDS.

BAD WEATHER CHEST PERILS PRETEXTED BT CO.MMOX-SEXSE TREATMENT. Has it ever occurred to you why every time the cold and damp weather comes round you should have the same bout of coughs and colds? All of this is not to bo explained by any physical weakness or bv any undue coddling. Certainly too manv hot potions at night, and too little rejjard for the ventilation of the bed chamber or of the place where you work, may help to explain some of these visitations of illness, but not all of them. Is not the large crop of July coughs and colds to be often explained by the mistaken and ineffective methods adopted for treatment of the trouble? Ihe ordinary drug-laden cough-mixtures may appear to confer benefit by lulling the nerves, tut it is a fruitless and dangerous process—fruitless because the real seat of the trouble, which is situated in the lungs, cannot be reached by any liquid medicines, and dangerous because" drugs like opium and morphia, when taken in the form of cough mixtures, exert a baneful and weakening influence on the entire svstem. It is entirely different with "the Peps treatment, which reaches the lungs direct, and that without the aid of any harmful drugs. Whenever a change in the weather, or any unavoidable exposure to draughts, chilis, night air, or sudden change of temperature, threatens a return of old throat or chest trouble, a few Peps tablets slowly dissolved in the mouth will fill the lungs with their soothing and germdestroying fumes. As these wonderful medicinal fumes are breathed into every corner of cur lungs and chest, the delicate tissues are gently stimulated into glowin" natural action, chill is repelled, accumu" lated phlegm softened, the "tightness" of the breathing passages loosened, and the weak spots in the chest toned -up. Delicate children racked with terrible coughs (and only anxious mothers know how pitifully the children suffer from such evils) get great benefit from the soothing influence of Peps in the chest. Old folks, whose days and nights aie one long torture from chronic, deep-seated bronchial evils, find peace, comfort, and cure in Peps. Striving workers, handicapped in life's battle by violent coughs and other chest and throat troubles caused by breathing foul odors and irritating duat at their work, find in Peps a sure ally.
