CONGRATULATIONS.

Mr. John Fl. Cullom, Editor of the
Garland, Texas, News, has written a
letter of congratulations to the man
ufacturers of Chamberlain s Couch
Remedy as follows: "Sixteen years
ago when our first child was a baby
he was subject to croupy spells and
we would be very uneasy about him.
We began using Chamberlain Cough
Remedy in 1887, and finding it such a
reliable remedy for colds and Group,
we have never been without it in the
house since that time. We have five
children and have given it to all of
them with good results. One good
feature of this remedy is that it is
not disagreeable to take and our
babies really like it. Another is
that it is not dangerous, and there is
no risk from giving an overdose.

your remedy" For sale by A. q
