BRONCHITIS

ITis

is an awful feeling to be conscious of bronchitis tightening its grip on your chest, and the breathing becoming more and more obstructed by the accumulation of phlegm and mucus in the windpipe and throat..

Coughing can't be kept up long without injury to the tissues. Cough you must, though your eyes feel bursting by the racking exertion, your head aches, and your chest is painful at the back, front and sides. „

The first symptom of the acute form is tightness or sera- "nespof the chest right behind the upper part of the breast bone, with a little hoarseness and tickling at the back of the throat, and with this is a very annoying hacking, dry cough which sets up inflammation.

POWERFUL MEDICINAL FUMES.

Bronchitis gets more distressing as winter approaches unless the sufferer adopts the proper treatment, which is Supplied by Peps, the wonderful breathe-able, remedy.

When the handy little Peps tablet is stripped of its silver jacket and placed in the mouth, powerful medicinal fumes are given off which impregnate the air we breathe with all the chest-strengthening wirtues of the pine forest, and as. this medicinal air is breathed down the windpipe (where fiquid medicine cannot pass), the cure is at once begun. »

· The obstructive phlegm is loosened and expectorated from the bronchial tubes: breathing is made easy; and an end is quickly put to the chest-racking cough. Peps completely banish all the terrors of bronchitis.

PEPS tablets are the true breatheable, remedy for coughs, colds and chille, wore throat, bronclü■! asthma, etc. Ontuizable in aelo bottles of medicins dealors in Hoogkong, Shanghai, etc. or from Ageria Mests, Wakefield Co. (China), Ltd, Szechuen Head, Shanghai.

There are thousands of Gammarius families living in little glass houses, not unlike finger bowls, all under the care of Mrs. E. W. Sexton, the member of the staff charged with the investigation. Sometimes, there are family disputes, just as in any suburban house. but Mr. Gammarius is more high-handed than Ir. Suburia in fact, he is a complete law to himself and settles all disputes by Mr & Mrs Deking Dars making a meal of his wife.

It was Mrs. Sexton who, with Mr. Julian Huxley, discovered the inter-seges Among these sandhoppers.

Some," said Mrs. Sexton, started life with all the characteristics of the male and then turned into females, while those, which started with every appear- ance of females became the opposite sex."

"PRIVILEGES" OF

AN ENGLISEMAN.

For the decay in social clubs. how. ever, many causes are, alleged, the prin- ONE OF THE cipal one being that in these hard times there isn't enough money about to sup- port these imposing institutions. Frank- ly, that is absurd. When innumerable men are willing to pay. from five to twenty guineas for the pleasure of watch ing two vast, fleshy, alleged boxers lean against one another and clinch for a few minutes, there, can be no genuine short- age of money."

The real explanation is-women have kilird the social club with deliberate: malice.

DANCE OF DEATH. ·

REAL TRAGEDY ON THE STAGE.

Evidence showing that an abstracting

clot of blood was the cause of the sudden collapse of a professional dancer, Alfred John Nolan, who fell dend when dancing at the Londoa Club, was given at an in- quest at Marylebone.

Nolan, who was 40 years of age, and had been dancing since he was a boy, en- tered into a contract with the club to given an acrobatic performance for seven nights. On the night in question he was dressed in white breaches, red coat, and busby, to represent a wooden soldier, on a pedestal, and when the performance had proceeded a few minutes he was seen to collapse backwards.

The widow Minnie Frederica Nolan, of 57. Flaxman-road, Camberwell, sobbed bitterly as she entered the witness-bar. She said that they were giving a dance called The Toy Soldier and the Ras Doll She thought the performance meant a great deal of hard work for her Husband, because he had to lift her about д lot. The tragely occurred shortly after they had started the dance, when she was waiting for him to perform the next trick with her.

קי

The Coroner: What happened 1 Mrs. Nolan: He just fell dead. He fell on his back and did not speak again. Continuing, she said that she rushed across the stage crying, Black out. He's dead, or ill, or something," By "Black out," she explained, she meant Lights out. She helped to carry the body from the stage." Mrs. Nolan added that they had only been on the stage for two minutes, and previous to the fall, her husband, who was very excited, on account of the polished floor, had been jumping about. They had always been told that her husband's heart was aber lutely sound. She had been married to Nolan for sixteen or seventeen yearx During the wat he served in the Royal Garrison Artillery, and was invalided out.
