Many remedies recommend ed by friends were tried, none of which proved suitable to my case. did not experience any beneficial results until I began taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. After two bottles of the large size have been used I am pleased to state, my health is better than 1t has been for years. The soreness has left my lungs and chest and can breathe easily. It has done me so much good that want all who are suffering from lung troubles, as I was, to give it a trial" For sale by druggists and deal CTS everywhere.
