A JudiciOus Injury.

A we'll known travelling man who
visits the drug trade says he has often
heard druggists inquire of customers
who asked for cough medicine,
whether it was wanted for child or
for an adult, and If for a child they al
most invariably recommend Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The reason
for this is that they know there is no
danger from it and that it always cures.
There is not the least danger in giving
it, and for coughs, colds and Group it
is net surpassed. For sale by Eng
bretson's Pharmacy.

Some Seas0nble Advice.

1t may be piece of superfluous adj
vice to urge people at thi- season of
the year to lay in a supply of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. 1t is almost snre
to be needed before winter is over, and
much more prompt and satisfactory
results are obtained when taken as
soon as cold is contracted and before
it has become settled in the system,
which can only be done by keeping the
remedy at hand. This remedy is so
widely known and so altogether good
that no one should hesitate about buy
ing it in preference to any other. It's
for sale by Engbretson's Pharmacy.
