The Best Remedy for Crnun.

From the Atchison, Kan, Daily G1obe.l
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by whoop from one of
the children. The Group remedies are
almost as sure to be lost, in case of
Group, as a revolver is sure to be lost
in case of burglars. There used to be
an old-fashioned remedy for Group,
known as hive syrup and tOlu, but
some modern mothers say that Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is better, and
does not cost so much. 1t causes the
patient to "throw up the phlegm''
quicker, and gives relief in a shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon as
the croupy cough appears and it will
prevent the attack. 1t never fails and
is pleasant and safe to take. For sale
by John e. DAILY and Sam Church.

when the fear of an attack from the
