During the fall of 1882, while my
daughter was teaching in the country
near here, she contracted severe cold
and cough. l sent her bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and the
effect was SO satisfactory that on her
recommendation the entire neighbor-

most satisfactory results, which has
continued with increasing confidence

take the lead and hope that all inter

of Rochester, for particulars regarding
this offer. No doubt it will be one of
the principal features of interest at the
fair. The Vicks will erect a separate
building or tent in which they viii

vegetables and will be on hand to re-
