Show It Cored the Cough. ' A woman of mature age went into a back-country drug store and said to the assistant: "I've got a cruel bad cough, surely. I've heard that bronchial troches are good things. Have you got any?" The assistant pointed to a small box on the table and said: "Yes, there they are." r "How much is it?" was the inquiry. ' The price was paid and the old woman wom-an took her departure. At night the assistant missed a box of glycerine Boap (three cakes). A couple of days afterward she returned to the shop and Baid: "I want you to take back two of them things I had t'other day. 1 took one of e'm. It was mortal hard to chew and awful to swallow, but it cured the cough." Boston Globe. |
