Editor of the Enterprise, Shortville, N.

kept from coughing myself to pieces by
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 off 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 l had never
tried it for such purpose, but it did,
and it seemed with the second attack of
the remedy caused it to not on
ly be Of less duration, but the pains were
far less severe, and had not used the
contents Of one bottle before Mr.. Grip
