NO Poison in Ci.amherlain's Cou~h

From Napier NeE Zealand Herald:
Two years ago the Pharmacy Board
OF New South Wales, Australia, had
an analysis made OF all the cough
medicines that were sold in that mar
ket. Out of the entire list they found
only one that they declared was en-
tire!y free from all poisons. This ex-
ception was Chamberlain's Cough
kemedy. made by the Chamberlain
Medicine Co.. Des Moines, Iowa, U.
s. A. The absence of all narcotics
makes this remedy the safest and best
that can be bad; and it is with a feel
ing OF security that any mother can
give It to her little ones. Chamber
Lair's Cough Remedy is especially
recommended bysits makers for coughs

SIR WILLIAM HARcOURT.
Grent English Politician Dies Suddenly
 Near Oxford.

Wear OX1OFds
 London. Oct Sir William Yer non Harcourt. the finest political glad iator of his age" died very suddenly today at Nuneham Park. near Oxford, the county seat which he recently in- herited from his nephew Only his wife. a daughter of the late John Loth- TOD Motley, the historian and former American Minister to Great Britain, was with him. When Sir William went to bed last night he seemed fairly well, though he had been suffering from a slight chill This morning when he was called. he replied cheerily, Tn a short time" Later a servant entered the room and found Sir William lying dead on his bed. His son. Lewis Yer non Harcourt. member of Parliament for the Rossendale division of Lanca- shire, was hastily summoned from London.
 Widespread Regret.
 Among all classes in the United Kingdom. regardless of party, the un- expected news caused a sensation and genuine regret, The somewhat pathetic announcement in March last of his in tended retirement had prepared the public for Sir Williams eventual dis appearance from the active arena of political strife. but there had been no whisper that his stalwart constitution had been radically impaired by nearly forty years of fiery parliamentary strife.
 The evening edition of The Standard. one of the deceased's most bitter op- ponents aptly and generously says:
 with the late liberal leader there has passed away one of the last of those titanic figures bound up with the most brilliant traditions of the House of Commons There are but a few left of those eminent statesmen who re- ceived their political training at the hands of Gladstone and Disraeli. The coincidence of his death with the i'm tended withdrawal of the distinguishs ed statesmman into weli-earned re- nose after a career of hard work and political activity gave added pathos to the event"
 In a similar vein The Pail Mall Ga- zette. out and out conservative in its views. pays a tribute to one of the most striking figures of the political arena" while the liberal afternoon newspapers deplore the loss sustained by their party.
