Some seasoaable Advice.

It may be a piece of superfuous adj
vice to urge people at this season of
the year to lay in a supply of Cham
berlain 5 Cough Remedy. It is almost
sure to be needed before winter is over,
and much more prompt and satisfacto-
nv results are obtained when taken as
soon as cold is1contracted and before
it has become settled in the system,
which can only be done by keeping the
remedy at hand. This. remedy is SO
widely known and so altogether good
that no one should hesitate about buy
ling it in preference to any other.
