Robert Williams, Tygwyn, Llaairwst, sued T. McFariane, of the Victoria Heed, Liiamrwst, for the sum of £ 9 18s akeged to be diue for pasture of sheep belonging to the defcndajLt during the yc-ars 1907-3 upon the Uanirwit Golf Lirnks, the pastuixj of wallch was let to the pliamitiff. Mr W. Twigge Ellis asppoared for the plain- tiff, and the defendant was represented by Mr R. 0. Davics. Tho plaintiff stated that Mr McFarkune had eight 6Leep grazing on the links in 1907, and ten in 1908, and tiiai he claimed £ 9 13s for the pastime of same. lIe said that Mr McFairiane had a-ked to be allowed to turn the sheep there in 1907 for a week or two, but thait he had them there for two yeari, and that he now dawned 1;9 18a for the pasture, which he considered lair and reasonable. Mr McFarlatne stated that he had reason to complain to Williams of net keeping a sufficient number of ?:iieop upon the golf iuiks to keep the grucs down as agreed upon, when V\ illiains re- plied, You ve got some sheep; you send yours there to mine," whcchhedid aocurdinigly wt tiie request, and fo'r the conveniemce of Williams to keeip down the pasture. He had plenty of pasture him&oif on Caegraig, and would not have seat his sheep to the lizili except at the reciue6t of Williams, with the view of keeping down the pasture. As a matter cd: fact he had only live hcep on the links, and that only during the summer of 1907, and eiglut sheep diunng the summer of 190S. Ln winter he alw-ays took the sheep off the links and kept thcin in Cae'rgraig on his own Land. John Lloyd Rolerte, gardener, in the employ ci tho defendant, gave conobccativo caoieaee, and stated that he sugp^ited in the begMtmng of the 1907 summer to Mr MoFauriiune *.wt lie should find pasture elsewhere than on Cae rgraig for tho è¡lee!P, otherwise he would not have -oUtii- e:ci,t for the cow and keep a smaii por- ti>n lor hay when Mr MaFarlar.o pronuseo to ,I pasture for the ,,ice[,, somewhere else. Cross-examined by Mr Ellis: R. ill:anis sliearod two sheep of Mr McFarlane's in 1907 and get the wool from (them, but in 1908 he ohoa-itd four of Mr McFariane's sheep, and sold the wool to Mr Mills for 8s 6d. Hij Honour stated tfiat at first he thought there was something in the case, but as the pLaintiff had made several mis-state me rate as to the number of the sheep on tho links belonging to Mr McFarkne, and bad on three occasions .j,jked for different amounts for gracing the same, ho could not accept his evidence after the ex- piration of about oi yeans, when, the alleged contract was made, and he must give the beiLelit of the doubt to the defendant, for whom judg- ment was given, coats to follow,

A HAIR TONIC THAT IS GUARANTEED. Althollgh there are countless hajir tonics on the market, for which every possiblo-a.s well as impossible— virtue is claimed, it is yet most unusual for the manufacturer of a. hair tom-o to substantiate his claims with a guarantee to re- turn the purchase price in case the tunic fails to give sat sfaction; therefore, we would call the attention of our readers to the fact that Bernard Beer is authorised to give an absolute guarantee oi satisfaction—or money refunded—signed by himself, with every; bottle of Harriett's Meta's Gold Medal Hair Tonic, the only tonic made from the world-famous formula which calls for 6 o.>z, Bay Rum, 1 oz. Lavoiaa de Cojnpooe* i dram Menthol Crystals, and one teaspoonful French Fon Fleur Perfume. If this remarkable tonic, which is absolutely harmless and free from colouring matter, fails to destroy the dandruff germ, or to relieve an itching scalp, if it does not make the hair g'row, or if it fails to make the hair soft, bright and blossy, take your signed guarantee to the store of Bernard Beer, from. which it was purchased, and your money will be refunded without question. Be sure to ask for the signed guarantee.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS ANNIVERSARY DINNER. INTERESTING SPEECHES AT RlIYL. SIR HERBERT ROBERTS ON WEALTH AND POVERTY. PRESENTATION TO THE SECRETARY. There was an interesting gathering at the Queen's Hotel, Rhyl, on Saturday evening, in connection with the North Waiee Branch of the United Kingdom Commercial T-ivellers' Associ- ation, when a nuincroua company sat down to the fifth anauversary diamer, and celebrated the gratifying progress of the branch, which has now a membership of one hundred. The arrange- ments had been carried out in an ably manner by Mr D. Gwesyn Pryce, the hen. secretary of the Social Committee, who was assisted by Mr Humphreys, bon. secretary of the branch. Mr Tom Lawrence, Col wyti Bay, preeidxaii of the branch, preiaded, az)d ho was supported by Sir Herbert Roberts, M.P.; Mr T. II. Morgan, bon. Bulkit"; Mr T. Graikyger, cihairiniau of the NaitionaJ.

They alt realised tiiat in Mr Ooyeh they bad an ideal or- gaoiiser, and ibey fully appreciated aJl the hono- rary work be had done for eomeuhmg like 14 yoara. The Association waa particularly neces- sary in the present tame, and tiie U.K.C.T.A. claimed' to be the best association of its kind and to bo run on buciniess lines. No aescciadaon, he ventured to say, paid more attenticm to the de- tails of its work tban tbat to which ho at all events was proud to betong (applause). Wha-t, it might be asked, was the .Association for?

The bmeifit society and the' benevolent funds were very useful adjuncts, and the Associ- ation waa in maay ways advantageoua to the profession, and not aaome in material benefits, for there were morail and social advantages too (applause). Afcer referring to the memraJK# sohemes oonnected with the Association, the speaker went on to deal with the criticism of the members.

Morgan proposed the toast of "The United Kingdom Comine-rcial Travellers' Associ- ation," arid in slibiriit-ting Jc said he consadexod it a privilege aikd honour to do so in the pre- -o cf the Chairman and Secretary of the AjS33>j jition, who; tinoy wero to ceo present tihat evening (applause), ^^llilo he did not consider it waa necessary for 'hun to dwell upo-n tho objects of tho Association, ho would say he considered it mo.;t desirabie that tra- vellers shutM bave an Association of tliat kind. Tito im[jortanee of ulie Association was realieed more and more every day, looking as it did after tiie enormous interests of the travelling and com- meacial fraternity. He did not suppose any profession couid bo likened to that of the com- mercial traveller. Their interests were wiki-a and extended to every part of the civilised world. The Association had conferred great benefits on travellers of the United Kingdom. About three years ago a great change carne over the consti- tution of the Association, and in the place of an honorary secretary they appointed a general sec- retary, as it was fcund impcajibie for a, man to give the necessary services to its interests free. He wias sure mo mear.bera were pleaded to iind that in tihat change Mr (Joysh, who had worked so hajrd for the Association for many years, was appointed, for he was a secretary of whom any body of men could bo prtyud (ap-plause). Since Mr CoY.>h had been at the head of affairs the Association had progressed tremendously, and at preoent there were about 65 branches with a membership of something like 14,000 (applause). Day by day freisli members were being added, and new brajiches opened. Tha.t was a vary hoaii'ahy sign, and he believed that -as tiimo wont on the Asjccdiition would be a great power for good in the country in looking after the inte- rests of the oommeircial brotherhood. Unless they were united they could not do very muoh, but euch a body as they had in (the Asiocaation that day was bound to be a power behind the man at the wheel. There was another very de- sirable change which had taken pkee in securing a ,head central office in London, which, to his mind, was most essential. London was the hub of the wheel of the whole world, and the Association aortod wisely in having a central office there. They heard to-day a great deal about associations having members of Parlia- ment of their own, and whale that association had not a member who was labelled AA their own, they could claim that the North Wales Branch had among its members a member of Parliament in the person of Sir Herbert Ro- berts (applause). He desired alio to welcome -the Chairman of the National Executive Coun- cil and hoped that that would not be the last time they would see him at their anniversary "^AN i^XTATlON RUN ON BUSINESS LINES. MV T. Grainger (who had a most entbusiastio reception, and wore the ohain of office w ilch MT W H. Lev or had presented to the A-ssoc.iali?:i), in acknowledging the toast, complimented the officers and members of the North WaVs Branch on the magnificent assembly at thcr fifth anniversary dinner. He was i&N,are (but there had been local difficulties, but the success which had attended the efforts of the c&icer3 showed that they had worked with the fr-eat^t en-tusiaam (aippkcuse). With regard to wnat Mr Maro-an bad said, he would like to correct him on one point. The change in the constitution ilad destructive criticism was always easy—but as a rule they fOllOO thait the men who were <tho most ready to criticiea were those who were not fully acquainted with aJl the facits (hear, hear). He hoped they would regard the Association ser- iously, and if they believed in their Association they would take an iuierest in its work, arid they should remember that as a rulo nine- tenths of unsympathetic criticism came from those who were were either disappointed or had an axe to grind. In corjcfusuon, the speaker condemned those who left a. society because they oouikl not have all their own way. Mr F. Coysh conmratula," (the North Wales Brunah on tihe success it bad attained. That success, he felt sure, was due to the enthusiasm of tho Welsh people, who knew how to "freeze" on to a good thing when they had it (laughjer and aj^plause). With regard to the Association it$e'if the question arose as to whether they were runniing it on right lines. Was the Association doing tiie work it had set out to do. To oom- mercial travellers an association was as necessary as combination was among those connected with eveiry other avocation. It was doing good to the profession, but it ccuid do more if the mem- bers would give it greater financial resources. lIe described the corresponding association m Germany, which has a huge membership, large funds for defence purposes, palatial offices, tiie rents from which return a dividend of 4 per cent, bes-des supplying accommodation for the Association rent free. He advocated a chango in the system of administration of the British Association a viow (to increasing the propor- tion of subscriptions abiit up to tho central office on the basis whi<;h in Germany has proved so effective. He believod that the Association would bo able to accomplish better work if the change ho .had outlined took .pliace, ind be in- tended to work for 'that; change. He would ad- yocote that policy in the future, and was honest in iiis desire to see a better state of things brought aoout. With regard to the charitable institutions and the benefit society, ne wished to commend them most heartily to the notice of the membeu-s of that branch, and to convey to the local officials the than of the secret i;y, as vveill )A llis appreciiton of t :io worK (Ie m North Wales, particularly at Colvyi: Lay. Th.y could not affoixl to iest on their care, but must go on progressing in the groat and good, work they had in They must unite and: work for the common good (applause). SPEECH BY SIR HERBERT ROBERTS. Sir Herbert Roberts, M.P., proposed "The North Wales Branch and its President." He had the honour of assisting in the inauguration at all events of the branch, and of being a member of tiie branch and its lirnt president. Ho was a commercial traveller of a political type; he wao always on the road, and belonged to a firm which happened for the present, at any raJte, to be a going concern (laugh/tor). There was no salary attached to his position, but, on the other hand, he had not yet received notioe to quit (laughter). Whatever the future ■might bring forth, he hoped nothing would occur to sever bis connection with the branch to whose prosperity he was now asked tiie in to drink (ap- plause). Ho was delighted to think that on an occasion of thait kind poLticj could not creep in in any way. After all, the trade and ccanmerce of the nation ought to be outeido the bounds of political considerations (applause). The day would, he hc-ixxi, never come when the shadow of polities would lall upon our commercial situa- tion (applause). Ile wished, to congratulate the North Wales Bra-rjch upon its progress numerically. A year ago <tho membership was 76; now it had achieved its century (appjiaiuse). He iviahed also to ccongrabulate the society upon its secretary (Mr Hum-piareys), for wihom he confessed a high regard (applause). WEALTH AND POVERTY. Always be had locked upon the ocntral prin- ciples of that Asrcciation as of the utmost oon- sequence in the development of the naAiomal life I -nalmely, self-help (applause). Not for a mo- 1 ment would he minimise the very grave scandal that existed to-day with regard to the inequality between riches and poverty in this land. No one could lock u-pon the life of the couatry in many directions without sorrow and dismay, and they would all do what they could to bring about an epoch when there would be greater equality of opportunity for all. At the same time he hoped they would not forget tlHtlt it would be impossible to regenerate the life of this nation without carrying out in all 5ts iuJL iscas the principle of self-heip, of individual effort, and individual responsibility. The salva- tion of the nation must cotnio from hig-h charac- ter and from individual effort and intelligence (applause). A NECESSITY IN TRADE. He hoped that th»3 travellers would ell realise fthe imporbanoe of the profession to which they belonged. It was a profession. The commercial traveller was an absolutely essential constituent of the trade organisa- tion of the nation and Empire (applause). He supplied the channel, and, in IJ. large measure, the motive power by which the trade and commerce of the country were carricd on. As Europe was giving a great deal of atten- tion, through its commercial travellers, fto Great Britain, so ought Great Britain to give some attention to the trade of Europe, and he would seriously urge upon the members of the United Kingdom Commercial Travellers' Association the importance of doing some- thing in tie direction already suggested by Mr Coysh, of bringing about in time that type of (intelligence, that knowledge of language, and that technical skill .and ex- perience which would enable Britain to do in Europe what the European commercial tra- vellers were doing Jior their own trade in this country (applause). John Wesley used to say that his parish was the world. The commercial traveller should also consider the world as his parish. He should go every- where if trade could be done. Places like Rhyl, Colwyn Bay and Llandudno (looked forward to people coming to spend their hoDidays in them, and he was sure they looked forward with some confidence to greater pros- parity in the future along the North Wales coast {hear, hear). The imore money people from the large centres of industry had to spend the more trade there would the for the commercial traveller <and those engaged in the building trade. Agriculture, he was pleased to say, was improving, and when that took place all sections of the community would also benefit. He believed that that Association would do something for the ad- vancement of trade in North Wales, .and that it would contribute its share to the prosperity of trade throughout the United Kingdom (ap- plause). The toast having been received with musical honours, the President responded, and said that the success which had attended the work of the branch was due in a large measure to the blending of the English with the Welsh (hear, liear). They had worked hand in hand, and by paying attention to de- tails the officials had been able to 'pass the century in membership (applause). Mr E. G. lEvams (Rhyl), who .also responded, said they were pleased to see Sir Herbert Ro- berts with them that evening, as they had had the honour of electing him their first president when lie was ibut plain Mr Herbert Roberts. Whether the fact that lie was the first president of the North Wales branch of the Association had .anything to do with the honour which was subsequently conferred on him modesty prevented him saying (laughter). However, they fully .appreciated- the high honour which .had been conferred on Sir Her- bert Roberts, who was one of the foremost sons of the Principality, and they hoped that lie would be long spa-rod to enjoy it (hear, hear). Then again in "Mr Tom Lawrence they had a president who was not only a worker, but a man of tiie world, who had worked hard for the Association. They hoped that the day rwas not far distant when they would see him on the magisterial bench of Denbighshire (applause). With 'regard to the Association he would remind them that the branch was started in 1905, !and in twelve months they had made 16 members. Then the numbers rose to 32, and that night they had ireaohed 101 (applause). Like all men, they were not satisfied, and they looked for- ward to the day when they would have a membership of 200. They had, as a branch, passed through the various stages of enthusiasm, criticism, and appreciation (hear, hear). The officials had always been full of enthusiasm, and that in a great measure was the reason why the .Association had done so well. Mr Humphreys, the secretary, bad al- ways been running over with enthusiasm (laughter, and boar, hear). As a branch they had been able to do good work. They bad tackled railway matters, and he was pleased to say that the London iand North-Western Eailway Company had met them in an ad- mirable manner. In fact, that evening they were stopping the Greenorc express at Colwyn Bay for the benefit of the members who were attending that gathering (applause). He threw it out as a 'hint that Colwyn Bay might move in the direction of having that train stopped more often milt that place, as at pre- sent there was no train from Rhyl later than £ >.27. PRESENTATION TO MR T. G. HUMPHREYS. Mr E. G. Evans then asked the President Uy make a presentation to Mr T. G. Hum- phreys, who, he said, had been secretary of the branch for some five years, and during that period had done indefatigable work on behalf of his fellows. Mr Humphreys had given them of his best, and he was sure they would all agree that he was a wondierful organiser, and that no one could have possibly done his work better. Although there had been some turmoil and strife during that period they as members wished to show their appreciation of what Mr Humphreys bad done, and to wishhim long life. That night they had the finest gathering of purely com- mercial .brethren seen in North Wales, and it wa-s fitting that on such an occasion they should give expression of appreciation of wha-t Mr Humphreys had done. The President then banded to Mr T. G. Humphreys a very fine 400-day French clock, the •case being of old English design. It bore the following inscription: "Presented to Mr T. G. Humphreys as a mark of appre- ciation of five years' services as hon. eecro- tary of the North Wales branch of the U.K.C.T.A., October 22nd, 1910." The President said be wished to endorse all that Mr Evans had said, and to add his testimony to the sterling iwortli of Mr Hum- phreys, to whom no doubt the success of the branch was in a large measure due. Mr Humphreys always did jbis work with a smiling face; although the work at times waa of a serious nature the secretary always came up smiling: (applause). He asked Mr Humphreys to accept the clock as a small token of their appreciation of his work. Mr Humphreys, who was received with musical honours, said he was deeply moved by the kind words which had been spoken that evening, and by the enthusiastic mannex in which the members had received his name. He thanked the members for their generous gift, but at the same time he could not but ask himself whether he really deserved such recognition (" Yes"). Five years ago he was

Galled upon to undertake the formidable task of organising the commercial travellers of North Wales. It was a difficult task, but with the help of many friends he had put his hand to thoe plough, and that day he was pleased to say they had turned a barren waste into a fertile pasture (applause). He hoped they would continue to go forward, and that they would not relax their efforts until they had linked up every commercial traveller in North Wales. Ihey should work together, not only for their own benefit, but for the benefit and welfare of the whole com- mercial fraternity (applause). Sir Herbert Roberts, before leaving the room, also congratulated Mr Humphreys on th-o work he had done as secretary of the branch, and expressed his pleasure at being able to take part in the presentation. THE WORK OF COUNCILLORS. Mr J. W. Roberts proposed the toast of the Chairman of the Rhyl Urban District Council, and in doing so congratulated Mr A. Rhydwen Jones on his -recovery from his recent severe illness. He also congratulated Mr Jonee on having risen to the highest position which his native town could confer on him. Referring to the work of municipal bodies the speaker reminded his hearers that it was the habit of people to think that other towns were more go ahead and better than those in which they lived, but strange to i ay the "heaven on learth" of one town was just the opposite to another place. People who wished to help their own (town should take aninteocst in its public affairs otherwise than as critics, -nd he (asked that a little mora credit should be given to those who gave their t,ime for the public good. Time given to public work was never thrown away (hear, hear). WHAT RHYL WANTS. Mr A. Rhydwen Jones, J.P., in responding to the toast, said he hoped that the mem- bers of the North Wales branch of the U.E.C.T.A. would feel that they had treceived the best welcome to Rhyl on the occasion of their fifth anniversary dinner, and that they would have a profitable meeting in every eonse of Ithe word, as well as a successful future. So much was expected of them by those dependent upon their exertions that on behalf of the Rhyl Urban District Council, and in the name of the town of Rhyl, he wished their Association every success .and God spocd in their endeavours. They as a body of representative gentlemen knew by instinct and experience what it was to repre- sent a good bouse, and how they con- scientiously endeavoured to the best of their ability to discharge their duties-; to their em- ployers and to those it was their opportunity to call upon to facilitate the business they were individually,-concerned in. Proceeding, he said Rhyl at present required something exceptional from its representatives on the Council, and the (sooner they and tho town icaLised that they must rely more upon their own personal endeavours rather than depend upon the irritating, flowery promises of com- pany promoters (who did not seem to have the confidence of their own recommendations by supporting them with their own capital in a reasonable way before going to the British public) the better it would be for the town. Confidence was a power of great delicacy, yet it was vital and powerful, wer f ul, sweeping away predictions of disaster, draw- ing to its side and support the cultured, learned and gifted of the best in the world to make the heart, the mind and the eye pleased in witnesaamg the success of its endeavours. Take Rhyl at present. What were they as a Council reallv doing besides administering what they were"in the ordinary course responsible for? He was of the opin- ion that if they as a Council were unable at present to bring forward ia definite scheme they should still endeavour to do &o, and if neoeseary adopt means of tapping the minds of the ratepayers generally; for it was quite possible that a divided responsibility was no responsibility for which the ratepayers were depending upon (hear, hear). He was pleased they had in Rhyl a number of com- mercial gentlemen residing amongst them, and while they had at least three of them as councillors they might -profit if they had more. Men of energy and ability were .al- vtays wanted, and the Rhyl Council as at present constituted was no exoeption-t.-hex-o was still room for a good man. In travelling about f-rom sea and inland resorts they could not but 800 how many improvements could be effected by making the Rhyl front more picturesque, and if necessary getting a really- good pier :for the town (applause). He was no .pessimist, and looked with confidence to a great revival and re-newa of trade general- ly through the United Kingdom (hear, hear). THE GUESTS. Mr W. T. Williams, in submitting the toast of guests, referred to the high plane of the speeches that evening. Mr Taylor, Manchester, responded to the toast, and urged closer attention to the pro- motion of Alpha Associations. OTHER TOASTS. Mr Doughty Davies proposed the toast of the "U.K.C.T.A. Benefit Society." Mr J. W. Roberts and Mr R. F. Williams responded, the latter speaking of the ex- cellent progress made by the society in North Wales. Mr E. G. Evans proposed the toast of Mr D. Gwesyn Pryce, and said that the branch owed much to his efforts in connection with that magnificent gathering. Mr Pryce acknowledged the toast, and said he would always look upon that gathering as a red letter day in the history of the branch. The proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to Miss Runham for her excellent catering, and also a vote of thanks to the artistes and Mr Horace Haselden, who accompanied most efficiently. During the pvening the following contri- buted to an excellent musical programme: Messrs W. G. Mobley, B. Littler, W. McKin- ley Davies, H. V. Doughty Davies, Humphrey Davies, E. B. Jones, Tom Bell, and Horace Haselden.

THE PINE FOREST FAIBY- A Most Wonderful Romance of Science. In their simple He in the open air, in forest, by stream, and on moor, with but little more shelter than the birds and beasts around them, our ancestors had advantages far more delightful than the present generation with all its invejv- fcions of motor cars, flying machines, and so forth. All these men had a freo out-door life under conditions not always possible to-day. Every breath of air they inhaled was pure and balmy, the oxygen of the atmosphere killed the germs of disease, whether of a cold or bronchitis, and any chest weakness. But an close rooms and in halls and crowded churches, healthful life is an impessicility, so much poison is exhaled frou, the lungs of those who crowd them, and so scanty is the amount of fresh air and oxygen to counteract the effects of sudh contamination. It was the thought of these present-day con- ditions and the throat and ohest diseases tooy set up that made scientists begin to search for a new and thoroughly modern remedy. The idea was conceived that the rich essences of the pino wood might be captuied and brought to the great mass of people, who, when suffering from the effects of colds, cannot think of going off to the pine forest. It was a brilliant notion; but the pine forest fairy that science went after dia. not intend being caught so easily. it The pursuit; however, was at last completely successful, and tc?day, in a highly concentrated little tablet sealed within a silver jacket, we have looked np the healing et-aenoes and balsams of the pine forest, ready for use in cases of bron- chitis, coughs, colds, sore throat, and any form of cheea weakness at a moment's notice. These are the marvellous Peps tablets which, though, only perfected a few vo-- ago, have spread their; high reputation to oiWooir corners of the eartih. The l.ët4 Úr. Gordon Stables himself thought so W-if of Peps that in his authoritative treatise on "Coughs and Colds," he says: — the use of the little tablets called PEPS woiriay obtain literally the benefits of the pine forest in our home and even our bedrooms. "A glance at the illustration in the margin will show how this is accomplished. The tablet, first taken from the silver wrapping in which ife. is preserved, is s:mply dissolved on the tongue, and its essence and odour paaa §traight to kings themselves. I "As a medical man it seems to me that the value of this mar- vellous remedy is two- fold. First, at com- pletely allays the irritation and tickling -in other words, the sub-acute inflammation of the liming membrane of the air pipes and lungs; and secondly, it kills or destroys the germs of disease itscli. "One can easily un- derstand, therefore, how an incipient cold so treated oan go no further. Not only is the dis- t cough or chest pain allayed, but Peps, by destroying the germs, root out tihe disease that has settled on the throat and chest, maybe for years. Phlegm is loosened and expelled, the breathing becomes easy, the rasping noise made by the bronchitis victim is disposed of, and all the delicate pas- sa,ges between the mouth and the lungs are bathed in an invigorating vapour, and thereby strengthened and enabled the better to resist th« • strain of sudden changes in the weather. This new Peps principle is vastly different from, that of liquid oooigh mixtures, which not only miss the lungs by being swallowed directly into the stomach, but weaken the nerves because of the opium they contain. Sold by all chemists im, sealed boxes at one-and-three-halfpence or two- and nine, Peps are most suooesaful for ooughay colds, bronchitis, sore throat, children's chest weaknesses, croup, influenza, that morning oough, and all autumn lung troubles.
