Three Doctors In Consultation
From Benjamin Franklin


"When you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for a medicine
in the first place; what experience tells
you is best, to be chosen in the second
place; what reason d. e., Theory says
is best to be chosen in the last place.
But if you can get DR., Inclination, DR.
Experience and Dr. Reason to hold
consultation together, they will give
you the best advice that can be taken"
When you have a bad cold DR., In
clnation would recommend Chamber
lains Cough Remedy because it is
pleasant and safe to take. DR.. EXper-
fence would recommend ii because it
never fails to affect a speedy and pre-
manent cure. DR.. Reason would rec
ommend it because II is prepared on
scientific principles, and acts on nat
ures plan in relieving the lungs, op-
ening the secretions and restoring
the system to a natural and healthy
condition. For sale by all druggists.
