Spectator, Rushford, N. Y, says: sit
may be pleasure to you to know the
high esteem in which Chamberlain
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 a 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 referred to are Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, famous for
its cures of colds and Group; Chamber
lain's Pain Balm for rheumatism, lame
back, pains in the side and chest, and
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
DiarrheaRemedy for bowel complaints.
These medicines have been in constant
use in Iowa for almost a quarter of a
century. The people haye learned that
they are articles of great worth and
merit, and unequalled by any other.
They are for sale here by N. Z. Nc
