COUGH REMEDY
 THE BEST AND MOST POPULAR

"Mothers buy it for croupy children, railroad men buy it for severe coughs and elderly people buy it for la grippe" say Moore Bros, Eldou, Iowa. "We sell more of ChamberIain's Cough Rem edy than any other kind. It seems to have taken the lead over several other good brands" There is no question but this medicine is the best that can be procured for coughs and colds, whether it be a child or an adult that is afflicted. It always cures and cures quickly. Sold by J. Heubner.
