Some time after the first of the

an illustrated trade edition, which
promises to be the finest publication
of the kind ever issued in this section
of the State. With the hearty COOP
Grafton of our business men and peo-
pie generally there is no doubt but
that the issuing of our trade edition
will reflect great credit upon the town;
for the enterprise, thrift and growth
of the town will be manif ested in the
patronage accorded it.
1t will be good news to mothers of
small children to learn that Group can
be prevented. The first sign of Group
is hoarseness. A day or two before the
attack the child becomes hoarse. This
is soon followed by a peculiar rough
cough. Give Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy freely as soon as the child be-
comes hoarse, or even after the rough
cough appears, and it will dispel all
symptoms of Group. In this way all
danger and anxiety may be avoided.
This remedy is used by many thous-.
ands of mothers and has never been
known to fail. It is, in fact, the only
remedy that can always be depended
upon and that is pleasant and safe to
take. For sale by G. e. Grafton Drug
Co.
