was traced to the kitchen sink. The

Cough Remedy says Frank w. Perry,
Editor OF the Enterprise, Shortyille, n.

taking teaspoonful of this remedy,
and when the coughing spell would come
on at night would take dose and it
seemed that in the briefest interval the
cough would pass OFT and | would go to
sleep perfectly free from cough and its
accompanying pains. To say that the
remedy acted as most agreeable sur
prise is putting it very mildly. / had, no
idea that it would or could knock out
the grip, simply because I had never
tried it fer such purpose, but it did,
and it seemed with the second attack of
coughing the remedy causedit to not on

far less severe, and had not used the
