1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
| tN.Y dairyman called at drug store
| there for a 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 Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. which he hoped
would give some relief until the doctor
should arrive. In few hours he re-
turned, saying that the doctor need
not come, as the child was much
better. The druggist, 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 f. L.
