A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with very severe cold that caused him
to be in most miserable condition. It
was undoubtedly bad case of la grippe
and recognizing it as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about speedy
cure. From the advertisement of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and the many
good recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was satisfac-
tory IN its results, is putting it very
mildly, indeed. 1t acted like magic and
the result was speedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in recon-
mending this excellent Cough Remedy
to anyone afflicted with congh or cold
