w. +. Benjamin, editor of the Spectator, Rush
ford, n. Y, says lit may be Il pleasure to you
to know the high esteem in which Chamber
lain's medicines are held by the people of your
own state, where they must be best known.
An aunt of mine, who resides at Dexter, Iowa,
was about to visit me II few years since, and
before leaving home wrote me, asking If they
were sold here, stating if they were not she
would bring quantity with her, as she did not
like to be without them" The medicines re-
ferred to are Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
famous for its cures of colds and Group Cham
berlain's Pain Balm for rheumatism, lame
back, pains in the side and chest, and Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and DiarrhOea Remedy
for bowel complaints. These medicines have
been in constant use i'll Iowa for almost Il qIur-
ter of century. The people have learned that
they are articles of great worth and merit, and
unequaed by any other. They are for sale
