10 is quite impossible for us to speak
knowingly Of the merits Of the various

But there are exceptions occasionally
and noteworthy exception is the cele-
brated Chamber lain's Cough Remedy.
This now universally known medi-
cine, has been advertised in the Graph
Ic for four or i've years, but not until
recently had we any personal knOwi-
edge of it's wonderful efficacy, which
has come about through the prevail
ing Influenza and the stubborn cough
that has so often attended it. In the
writer's family this medicine has on
several occasions this winter cured a
cough that baiiled any aud all other
