Caption

Additional card text: "He won't hurt you!" 19th series. Is the confident assurance of the little Miss in our picture ; and, as if to make this assurance doubly sure, she noticeably braces herself with a firmer grip of the tether. This is precisely what every sensible person ought to do in the presence of possible danger - take all practicable precautions against the worst. Hence, when you find the vital but delicate organs of the body are evidently struggling with a cold, an irritating cough rasping the lungs into soreness, or a painful inflammation seating itself in the throat, don't parley, or waste time and money experimenting with new and unfamiliar medicines, but provide yourself with the Expectorant of Dr. D. Jayne, the remedy which approved itself to your fathers and mothers, and which today retains the well-earned popularity of half a century as the standard household curative for Coughs, Colds and Consumption, and all Pulmonary and Bronchial Affections as well. It acts now with the same certainty as of yore in all attacks of Asthma, Pleurisy and Acute Inflammation of the Lungs or Throat. It is a safe standby to have near you in the sudden advances of Croup, and it alleviates and shortens the sufferings of Whooping cough. Whne you know what you want, make sure to get it, and do not be put off with a anything else. The miseries of indigestion! How seldom you find a man, a women, or even a child, who has wholly escaped the well-known symptoms! If you or any of your children are of the afflicted, adopt a light, spare but nutritious diet, and in addition give Dr. D. Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge a trial, and you will find that digestion is assisted, a Sour Stomach corrected, and the oppression or uneasiness of the stomach removed. Dyspepsia is usually the cause of Nausea, Water-Brash, Sick Headache, Flatulency, Low Spirits, Heartburn, &c., and this tonic will be found very beneficial in removing these unpleasant attendants. The tonic vermifuge is especially a tonic for children, and as feeble and weakly children are more often feeble and weakly from indigestion than from any other cause, every mother should learn to know the value of this remedy in rearing her family. So, also, it is very serviceable in curing the Fever and Ague of children; and for removing Worms, the common pests of childhood, it is the most certain and safest of medicines. Presented by R.M. Norris, Brenham, Kansas.
