and wait until they came alongside.

“German
Syrup”
I must say a word as to the ef-
ficacy of German Syrup. I have
used it in my family for Bronchitis,
the result of Colds, with most ex-
cellent success. I have taken it my-

derived good results therefrom. I
therefore recommend it to my neigh-
bors as an excellent remedy in such
cases. James T. Durette, Earlys-
