The little daughter of Mr.. Fred Web
ber, Holland, Mass, had very bad cold
and cough which he had not been able to
cure with anything. l gave him a 25
cent bottle Of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, says w. p. Holden, merchant and
postmaster, at West Brimfield, and the
next time l saw him he said it worked
like charm. This remedy is intended
especially for acute throat and lung di-
seases such as colds, Group and whooping
cough, and il is famous tOs its cures.
There is no danger in giving it to chill
dren for it contains nothing injurious.
