ChamberIain's Cough Remedy the Best
Made.

I'm my opinion Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the best made for colds"
says Mrs. Cora Walker of Porterville,
California. There is no doubt about its
being the best. No other will cure
a cold so quickly. No other is so sure a
preventative of Pneumonia. No other
is so pleasant and safe to take. These
are good reasons why it should be pre-
ferred to any other. The fact is that
few people are satisfied with any other.
The fact is that few people are satisfied
with any other after having once used
this remedy. For all by all dealers.
