Ships were being torpedoed every day. i Disaster threatened on land and sea. fj coul d not see the enc l Our people could not see the end. But they saw their duty. Out of their | savings they have forged the mighty 1 weapons which have enabled our I Sailors and Soldiers and Airmen to ] turn disaster into Victory. S begins a new series of National War Bonds.

IC D, I. E FOR THRDAT CHESTO 1 1 8-ow *•!$Ill That Nasty Cough. = • i PEPS, the wonderful breathe- ahle medicine in tablet form, ¡ have robbed tbe chilly wtather of its terrors. You put a Peps ¡ tablet on the tongue and let it dissolve. As it does so, the medIcine I it contains turns into vapour and passes naturally down the bre-athlng tubes, bathing all the inflamed parts (which no liquid or solid < medicine can ever reach) with germicidal and healing fumes resembling the balsamic Swiss pine-air. The author of Coughs and Colds, and the Correct Home Treatment." sa,,s H you wish to ease and end a cough right off the reel; if yon desire io iccsen t.iqMmg pli'egm oDd clear the throat and breathing tubes, use Peps." A glance at the abqj-e sectional diagram of the human face and throat f will clearly shew that the way the Peps fumes take is Nature's only way to the lungs-by way of t..be throat and bronchia! tobes, The dotted lines in the'diagr^ follow the direction of the air we breathe, whether through the nostrils (1) or the mouth (2). Passing over the tongue (3) the air mingles with the fumes emitted from the little Peps tablet dissolving on the tongue, and both arc carried through the opening (4) to the throat. Notice carefully that the Peps fumes then pass down -a separate passage (5) which only air can traverse, direct to the lungs, not down the gullet (6) to the stomach, which is where liquid physic goes. Peps are entirely free from harmful drugs, and are praised everywhere by people who have proved their wonderful power in cases of chronic cough, colds, bronchitis, bronchial asthma, difficult breathing, tightness of chest, laryngitis, croup, chest weakness, early mcming cough, factory and workshop coughs, influenza, children's coughs, wheeziness and other throat and chest ailments. No home should be without this remarkable throat and chest medicine. 1 j 1'3 a box. nf. all Chejr.tfts, Stores, Y V C.A. Huts and Army and Navy Canteens, I
