warm months, the very time at which
the need of the farmers is the gerat-

thing he sees is the abandonment by
farmers of their farms and movement

of so much labor in the factories, he
says it looks as if the tide will have

Do Not Suppress . Cough.

When you have a cough do not try
to suppress it. but remove the cause.
The cough is only a symptom of some
disease, and the disease is what you
should cure. then the cough will stop
of itself. The most common caues of
coughing is a cold. Anodynes will
promptly suppress the cough, and
preparations containing chlOrOform,
opium, ETC., are used for that pur-
pose, but they do not cure the cold.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy on the
other hand does not suppress the
cough, but relieves it by removing
from the throat and lungs the mucus
which Obstructed the breathing and
allaying the irritation and tickling in
the throat. 1t also opens the secre-
tiOns and effectually and permanently
cures the cold as we'll as the cough.
