a Sure Cure for Group.
twenty-five Years Constant Use
Without Failure.

twenty-five Years Constant Use
Without Failure.
The first indication of Group is
hoarseness, and in child subject to
that disease it may be taken as q
sure sign of the approach of an at
tack. Following this hoarseness is a
peculiar rough cough. If Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is given as
soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the croupy cough appears,
it will prevent the attack. It is
used in many thousands of homes in
this broad land and never disap-
points the anxious mothers. We
have yet to learn of a single instance
in which it has not proved efectual.
No other preparation can show such
a record-twenty.6ve years constant
use without a failure. For sale by
J. E. Kaufman.

Canton. Ohio. Aug s-Presldent Mckinley has
purchased The Mckinley cottage. at the corner Of
North Narket-st. and Louis-ave. The deal was
closed on Saturday The consideration was S4.50o
lie will secure possession IN october. The prop
erty was not on the market. II Is endeared to the
President and Mrs Mckinley as the home where
they began housekeeping and by many memories
The lot has lOO feet frontage in Market-st. by IA
feet in Lous-ave.
The front veranda shows the wear from the cam
paign OF 1896. when the home was the political
Mecca for many thousands Of people
Before leaving Canton for inauguration President
Mckinley tried 10 buy the house. II is not be-
lieved that Mrs Hartes would have sold the place
20 any one else. II Is believed TO be the Presi-
dents intention 70 spend a part OF each summer
In Canton The interior Of the house has always
been roomy, cool and comfortable.
Many Canton people have expressed fear that
the President might be induced 20 accept one OF
the many invitations which the papers have re-
ported being made to his residence else
where Tie news that the deal Is closed causes
great satisfaction here.
