Qualities of ChamberlaIn's Cough
Remedy.

Ashburnham, Ont, April is, 1903
1 think it is only right that l should
tell you what wonderful effect
Chamberlain Cough Remedy has pro-
duced. The day before Easter L was
so distressed with cold and cough
that | did not think to take any du-
ties the next day, as my voice was
almost choked by the cough. The
same day received an order from
you for bottle of your Cough Rem
edy. l at once procured a sample
bottle and took about three doses of
the medicine. To my great relief the
cough and cold had completely disap-
peared and L was able to preach
three times Easter day. l know that
this rapid and effective cure was due
to your Cough Remedy. L make this
testimonial without solicitation, being
thankful to have found such a God
sent remedy. Respectfully yours,
L. a. LANGFELDT, NJ. A.,
