Chamberlain's Cough Remedy" says
Frank W. Perry, editor of the Enter
prise, Shortsville, n. Y. This is the
honest truth. | at times 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 inter
val the cough would pass off and 1
would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and its accompanying pains.
To say that the remedy acted as a
most agreeable surprise is putting it
very mildly. 1 had no idea that it
would or could knock out the grip,
simply because / had never tried 1T
for such purpose, but it did, and it
seemed with the second attack of
coughing the remedy caused it to not
only be of less duration. but the pains
were far less severe, and | had not
used the contents of one bottle before

faulty it ought to be changed. He did
not think it ought to be killed here at
this time. and especially so when the
opportunity was ripe for changing it
and improving its provisions.

ponement of further consideration of
the bill until next. Tuesday. He said
that he did not believe this important
measure has been sufficiently and fair
ly considered. Shurtleff, who made
the motion to strike out the enacting

some fifteen or twenty amendments
had been offered and considered, and
that at the time he believed-and was
still of the Opinion-Fhat the house did
not want to consume any further time

consumption" writes Mrs.

After three days coughing
he was too weak to cross

him no good. I stated
the case to a druggist, who
