BRONCHITIS FR

ITis

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16TH, 1923

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 sore- ness of 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 virtues of the pine forest, and as this medicinal air is breathed down the windpipe (where liquid medicine cannot pass), the cure is at once begun.

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

PEPS are obtainable in sealed &lass bottles of Chemists and Dispen- waries everywhere. Direct from Agout-Messrs. Wakefield & Co. (China), Ltd, Szechuan Road, Shanghai.

In the region where the Trust operates private dealing is strictly forbidden. Iron discipline is enforced, while a minimum fine of three hundred roubles has to be paid for breaking the laws, Gamblers and drunkards are threatened with the knout, while robbery implies the death penalty itself. Anyone who attempts to bribe the officials is immed- iately deported from the gold region. This is all on paper though. Naturally, there are many crimes, and much gold is concealed from the watchful eyes of the Trust officials.

The main difficulty facing the Russian gold industry at the moment is the ques tion of traffic and communication.
