is the full story :-

The Jou-jan emisaries, jealous of China's growing influence over Turkestan, had tried to persunde the Tartar ruler of Liang Chou that China had been defented by them in her desert wars (which was partly true), and that their own Khagan, whose name was Wu-t'i, was alone capable of domineer ing High Asia. These boastful words had their intended effect, and the final result was that Tobs Emperor had to set out and undertake in person the conquest of temer- arious Liang Chou statu: this was in 439 : Ku-tang, the capital (practically the modernity of Liang-chou Fu), surren- dered with 200,000 people, nearly all of whom were carried away to the Toba capi- tal (Ta-t'ung Fu). The Shen-shen people, alarmed at this, said to each other:

The Toba Emperor was not disposed to be flaunted in this way, so in 445 he despatched a fresh army to conquer Shen uhen.

IT WILL NOT DO

To fool with a bad cold. No one can toll

As a medicine for the cure of colds, coughs and influenza, nothing can compare with Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, It always cures and cures quickly.
