There can be no more satisfying vision than that of the two groat English-speaking nations witl^ a common ancestry, with the same traditions and the same ideals, moving « forward m close accord, and acting up ' to the principle expressed by the . British poet : ' They must be free or die who speak the tongue that Shakespeare spoke.' " For Bronchial Coughs, take ' Woods' Great Peppermint Cure.
