Simple Way To
End Night Coughing
No matter how long you have been
troubled with exasperating coughing at
night, robbing you oi valuable sleep and
thereby weakening your system and
laying you open to dangerous infec
tions, it can usually be stopped at once
by a very simple treatment. Most people
have found that they can sleep the
whole night through undisturbed itften
the first time they try it.
The treatment is based on n remarkable
prescription known ;is 1>i. King's New 1>i -
covery for Cough*. You pimply takeateaspoon
ful at night before retiring and hold it in your
throat for 15 or 20 second* before swallowing,
without following with water* The prescrip
tion has a double action. It not only soothes
soreness and irritation, but it quickly loosens
and removes the phlegin uml congest ion which
are the direct cause of the coughing. The re
sult is you usually sleep soundly the very ilrst
night, and the entire cough condition goes in
a very short time.
The prescription Is for coughs, chest colds,
hoarseness, bronchitis, spasmodic croup and
aknott every thjroat irritation. It contains no
opiate* or other harmful drugs. Economical,
too, as the dose is only one teaspoonful. On
sale at all good druggists. Ask for

The Ford car costs so little and is such
? . a glutton for punishment that many
people thinlc any kind of oil is good
enough for it. ?
We know one town where Ford owners
buy second-hand oil drained from
" crank cases of a trucking company.
The Ford will run on most anything
that passes for oil, but it will run longer,
more quietly, and more cheaply if
lubricated with oil made especially for
its engine and transmission.
The best oil of tlx (.it class is
