A Judicious Inquiry.

A we'll known travelling man who
visits the drug trade says he has
often heard druggists inquire OF
customers who asked for a cough
medicine, whether it was wanted
for a child or for an adult, and If
for a child they almost invariably
recommend Chamberlain'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
