Do Not Suppress a Cough.

When you have a cough do not try
to suppress it. but remove the cause
The cough is only symptom of some
disease. and the disease is what you
should cure. then the cough will stop
OF itself. The most common cause of
coughing is a cold. Anodynes will
promptly suppress the cough, and
preparations containing chlorofOrm
opium. etc. are used for that purpose
but they do not cure the cold. Cham
beriain's Cough Remedy. on the other
hand. does not suppress the cough. but
relieves il by removing from the throat
and lungs the mucous which obstruct-
ed the breathing and allaying the irri-
tat:on and tickling in the throat Ii
also opens the secretions and effectu-
ally and permanently cures the cold as
well as the cough. For sale by all

sages of good cheer and congratulation
and appreciation or good things. The

heavy. and after discussion at the
