we would be very uneasy about him.
We began using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in 1887, and finding it such a
reliable remedy for colds and Group we
have never been without it in the mouse
since that time. We have five children
and have given 1t to all of them with
good results. One good feature of this
remedy is that 1t is not disagreeable to
