was seriously afflicted with

I was seriously afflicted with a
cough for several years, and last fall
had a more severe cough thar ever
before. I have used many remedies
without receiving much relief, and be-
ing recommended to try a bottle Of
Cnhmberlain's Cough Remedy, by a
friend, who, knowing me to be a poor
widow, gave it to me, I tried 1t, and
with the most gratifying results The
first bottle relieved me very much and
the second bottle has absolutely cured
me. I have not had as good health for
twenty years. Respectfully, MRS.
