From New Zealand.

Reefton, New Zealand, Nov. 23, 1896.
 am very pleased 10 state that since took the agency of Chamberlain's medi- cines the sale has been very large, more especially of the Cough Remedy. In two years have sold more of this particular remedy than of all other makes for the previous five years. As to its efficacy, have been informed by scores of persons of the good results they have received from 1t, and know its value from the use of it in my own household. It is SO pleas ant to take that we have to place the bot tie beyond the reach of the children.

A curi- ous relic in connection with this custom exists today in the form of the quaint knocker on the door of Durham cathe- dral. The applicant, having hammered at the portal, one of the priests inside would inspect him through the eyes of the copper mask above the knocker and after due par ley would admit the fright enod criminal

 Hoarseness in & child that Is subject to croup is a sure indication of the approach of the disease. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given as soon as the child be- comes hoaI SC, or even after the croupy cough has appeared, it will prevent the attack. Many mothers who have croupy children always keep this remedy at hand and find that it saves them much trouble and worry. It can always be depended upon and Is pleasant to take. For sale by E. K.
