Cough Remedy.
When | had an attack of grip last

cured myself with one bottle of Cham

Shortsville. N. Y. This is the hon.
est truth. | at times kept from
coughing myself to pieces by taking
a teaspoonful of this remedy and when
the coughing spell would come on at
night / would take dose and II
seemed that in the briefest interval
the cough would pass on and would
go to sleep perfectly free from cough
and its accompanying pains. To say
that the remedy acted as a most agree
able surprise is putting IT very mildly.
| had no Idea that II would or could
knock out the grip, simply because I
had never tried II for such a purpose,
but 1t did, and It seemed with the
second attack OF coughing the remedy
caused It to not only be of less dura-
ton. but the pains were less severe,
and had not used the contents of one
bottle before MIR. Grip had bid me
adieu." For sale by City Drug Store.
