OUR BABY.

"In March last, our baby when
six months old, was taken down
with what the physicians called
bronchitis" Gan ordinary cold) and
was very sick for two weeks; she
seemed to be filled deep in the chest
with phlegm which we were unable
to loosen; she could not lie down at
all, but had to be held upright else
it caused her to cough severely; the
physician did not give her an relief.
although the prescriptions were
changed every day and sometimes
twice a day; this treatment was con.
tinued about ten days and we final
~ determined to try a bottle OF
Chamberlains Cough Remedy. We
obtained a bottle and after giving a
few doses she was relieved, breath
ing easier and throwing off the
phlegm and getting to sleep, getting
well in u few days, and we belive we
owe her life to the use of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. Our oldest
girl is subject to Group and has had
several severe attacks, but the Cough
Remedy has brought her out all
right with but two good doses and
we would not 60 over night without
. bottle in the house. We have
great faith in it." Signed, Wilbu,
