ARemarkabIe Record.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
a remarkable record. It has been in
use for thirty years, during which time
many bottles have been sold and used.
1t has long been the standard and main
reliance in the treatment of Group in
thousands of homes, yet during all
this time no case has ever been re-
ported to the manufacturers in which
it failed to effect cure. When given
as soon as the child becomes hoarse
or even as soon as the croupy cough
appears, it will prevent the attack.
It is pleasant, many children like
it. It contains no opium or other
harmful substance and may be given as
confidently to 4 baby as to an adult.
