SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP
Cured by One Bottle Of ChamberIain's Cough
Remedy

Cured by One Bottle OF Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy
"When l mad an attack of the
grip last winter (the second one) l
actually cured myself with one
bottle of Chamberlain s Cough Rem
edy." says Frank W. Perry, editor
of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N. Y.
This is the honest truth. l 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 a dose and it seemed that in
the briefest interval the cough would
pass of and / would go to sleep per.
feotly 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 it would
or could knock out the grip, simply
because I had never tried it for such
a purpose. but it did, and it seemed
with the second attack of coughing
the remedy caused it to not only be
only Of less duration, but the pains
were far less severe, and / had moi
used the contents of one bottle
before Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu.
