The three-year-old boy of ia. Johnson,
of Lynn Center, ILL.,, is subject to attacks
of Group. Mr.. johnson ssys he is satisfied
that the timely use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, during a severe attack, saved his
little boys life. He is in the drug business,
member of the firm of Johnson Bros, of
that place; and they handle great many
patent medicines for throat and lung dis
eases. He had all these to choose from, and
skilled physicians ready to respond to his
call, but selected this remedy for use1n his
own family at time when his child's life
was in danger, because he knew it to be
superior to any other, and famous the
country over for its curea of Group. Mr..
Johnson says this is the best selling cough
