our dear ones suffer while awaiting the
arrival of the doctor. An Albany IN. y
dairyman called at drug store there for
doctor to come and see his child, then very
sick with Group. Not finding the doctor in,
he left word for him to come at once on
his return. He also bought a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which he
hoped would give some relief until the doc
tor should arrive. In a few hours ne re-
turned. saying the doctor need not come,
as the child was much better. The drug
gist. Mr.. Otto Scholz. says the family has
since recommended Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy to their neighbors and friends
until he has a constant demand for it
from that part of the country. For sale
by druggists.
