Some seasonable Advice.

1t may be piece of superfluous ad-
vice to urge people at this season of
the year to lay in a supply of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. 1t is almost
sure to be needed before winter is
over, and much more prompt and sat
isfactory results are obtained when
taken as soon as a cold is contracted
and before 1t has becou settled in
The system, which can only be done
by keeping the remed II hand. This
remedy is so widely known and 80 al
together good that no one should hes
itate about buying 1t in preference to
any other. 1t is for sale by all drug
