vice to urge people at this season of
the year to lay in supply OF chaM-
berlain's Cough Remedk It is almost
sure to be needed before winter is
over, and much more pflaapt and sat
isfactory results are obtained when
taken asfsoon as cold is contracted
and before it has become settled in
the system, which can only ! done
by keeping the remedy at hand. This
remedy is so widely known and so al

itate about buying 1T in preference to
any other. 1t is for sale by j. H.
