No Poison in Chamberlain s Cough
Remedy.

From Napier, New Zealand, Her
aid: Two years ago the Pharmacy
Board of New South Wales, Aus
tralia, had an analysis made of all
the cough medicines that were sold
in thai market. Out of the entire list
they found only one that they de-
clared was entirely free from oil
poisons. This exception was Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, made by
the Chamberlain Medicine Compa-
ny, Des Moines, Iowa, u. 5. a. The
absence of all narcotics makes this
remedy the safest and best that can
be had; and it is with feeling of
security that any mother can give 1t
to her little ones. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is especially recon-
mended by its makers for coughs,
colds, Group and whooping cough.
This remedy is for sale by Vivian's
Pharmacy.

A MODEL or CAUTION.
Yet an Innocent Remark Was the
Cause of His Death,


The father of Gueau de i,everseauy
had been Il distinguished lawyer. anl
through his influence he held important
Offices under the government When
the revolution began he gave up his
office ut LII Rochelle and retired TO
Charities
From the time that the revolution
began GueaI de Eeyerseaux devoted
his attention exclusively to preserving
his own safety. He wrote no letters.
He would receive no letters. He saw
no visitors and paid no visits. He
spoke to no person and allowed no one
to come near him. 1t would have been
impossible to be more prudent than he
was.
However, he wanted some sheds built
on his farm near Charities and ven
tured to consult ii carpenter. The car
pentcr told him that he could not I'M
dertake the work Immediately, as
Gueau de Reverseaux wished, because
most of his workmen were drafted to
join the army at once.
Gueau de Reyerseaux replied: THE
work men need not go. They can send
substitutes"
This remark was heard by the work
men, but only the first phrase made
any impression on them. They reported
everywhere that NJ. Gueau de Rever-
seaux, who must be good authority.
had said that they need not go. The
l.. -, sd, hnf n
de Reyerseauy declared that the draft
ed workmen need not obey the gov
eminent. This was considered to be
conspiracy, and he was condemned to
death and executed.
