Some seasonable Advice.

II may be a piece of supcrfluous ad-
vice to urge people at this season Of
the year to lay in a supply OF Cham
bcrlain's Cough Remedy. II is al
most sure to be needed before winter
is over. and much more prompt and
satisfactory results arc obtained when
taken as soon as cold is contracted
and before il 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 buying it in prefer
cnce to any other. It is for sale by
all druggists.
