SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle of Chamberain'S
Cough Remedy.

"When l had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) actual
ly cured myself with one bottle of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy" says
Frank w. Perry, editor of the Enter
prise, Shortsville, N. Y. "This is
the honest truth. I 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 in
terval 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 surprise is putting it very
mildly. l had no idea that it would
or could knock out the grip, simply
because l had never tried il for such
a 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 Mr.. Grip
had bid me adieu {" For sale by n.

Danger of Colds and Grip,

The greatest danger from colds and
grip is their resulting in pneumonia.
If reasonable care is used, however,
and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
taken, all danger will be avoided.
Among the tens of thousands who
have used this remedy for these
diseases we have yet to learn of a
single case having resulted in pneu-
monia, which shows conclusively that
it is a certain preventive of that
dangerous disease. 1t will cure cold
or an attack of the grip in less time
than any other treatment IT is pleas
ant and safe TO take. For sale by N

A LAST RESORT.
Pure Food Should BE the Frat.

When the human machine goes wrong
It's ten to one that the trouble began
with the stomach and can therefore be
removed by the use of proper food. A
lady well known in Bristol, Ontario
County, n. Y, tells of the experience she
had curing her only child by the use of
scientific food: MY little daughter, the
only child and for that reason doubly
lear, inherited nervous dyspepsia. We
red all kinds Of remedies and soft foods.
AT last, when patience was about ex-
aausted and the child's condition had
grown so bad the whole family was
aroused, we tried Grape-Nuts.
"A friend recommended the food as
NE which her own delicate children had
grown strong upon, so L purchased a

lime a marked change in both health
and disposition was seen. What made
