How often we bear the above remark
during these extreme changes of weather.
Colds, coughs and sore tEroats were never
as prevalent among children as now. Now
we are going TO urge you TO try remedy
which has excited comments by physicians
all over the country, who acknowledge
their surprise at the wonderful and happy
results from its use. That remedy is the
wtlI-known preparation, HALES COUGH
CORDIAL. Yourlown druggists in Water
town will tell you that it is the best cough
medicine they ever sold and warrant a
cure or return your money to you in case
of a failure after using one half the bottle
1t is very pleasant to the taste, making it
very desirable remedy for children.
