When Chamberlain's cough remedy is talk en every hour on the first appear ance of the symptoms, it counteracts the effect of the cold and restores the system to healthy condition within day or two.

A Tribute TO OLD VERMONT

All hail our old Green Mountain state.
Though small in size, in glory great
Her lakes and rivers, brooks and rilIs.
Her woods and wales end green-clad
hills
In 1ovelness may we'll compare
With any land supremely fair.
Her rock-ribbcd mountains raised on high
Like Titan walls to lift tho sky
l3edcCked with robes of living green
Add grandeur to each rural scene.
And guard tho valleys at their feet
From blighting winds and scorchng
heat
Beneath her genial summer skies
She seems almost paradise
When autumns magic crystal dews
Dye all the leaves with rainbow hues,
Her landscapes new a splendo- show
That rivals cen the sunset glow
With horses, cattle, swine and sheep.
That grow their wealth while farmers
sleep;
With sugar, granite, marble. slate
And mills and fabrics adequate:
With dairies. fowls and fruit galore,
Why need Nermonters sigh for more?
Tho rocks and stones obstruct her soil
And render hard tho summers toll
When autumn's harvest all is Ger
Abundance crowds each thrcshing floor.
And well-fed children round each hearth
Are gay ms II they owned the earth.
What If tho winds do fiercelv blow
And pile the roads with drifting snow?
They do not daunt her boys and girls
Nor make of them poor coward churls,
For wading snow in air that's chill
Develops courage, strength, and will.
Since Ethan Alkn took "Od TT"
In name of Him who IoiEns on high.
Green Mountain Boys. as brave as those
"Old Ethan" for his daring chose,
Have wrought great Cceds as worthy
fame
As his "in Great Jehovah's name"
~ when the proud and naughty South
Secession" spoke from cannon 5 mouth
Hcr heroes poured from every town
To put tho iawesS traitors down,
And fought tin Grim Rebellion sore.
Gave IN tho Chost-aud war WAS Ger
Fen SO Green Mountain Girls" were
true
And loyal as he Boys in Blue"
And all they could. WAS bravoly done
To aid the cause our soldiers won;
BY thcm. i'm camp. tho sick We're healed
While those at home helped till the field
4 refuge from tho wear and tear
OF business turmoil filled with care
A hcalthful. hracing, cool retreat
From noxious air and sitting heat
Vermont affords each city guest
The boon of comfort, peace and rest.
