vice 60 urge people at this season of
the year to lay in supply of Chamber
Iain's Cough Remedy. 1t is almost
sure to be needed before winter is over,
and much more prompt and satisfactory
results are obtained when taken as soon
as cold is contracted and before it has
become settled in the system, which
can only be done by keeping the reme-
dy at hand. This remedy is so widely
known aud so altogether good that no
one should hesitate about buying it in
preference to any other. II is for sale
