A Timely Suggestion.

This is the season OF the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is certain to be
needed before the Winter is over, and
results are much more prompt and
satisfactory when it Is kept at hand
and given as soon as the cold is con-
tracted and before 1t has become set
tied in the system. In almost every
instance a v er cold may be warded
off by taking this remedy freely as
loon as the first indication Of the
cold appears. There is no danger in
giving It to children for it contains
no harmful substance. 1t is pleasant
to t%ake--both adults and children like
il. Buy 1t and you will get the best.
It always cures. For sale by all Drug
