The Grip.

Before we can sympathize with
others, we must have suffered our
selves" No one can realize the suf-
fering attendant upon an attack of the
grip, unless he has had the actual ex-
perience. There is probably no disease
that causes SO much physical and men
tai agony, or which so successfully de-
fies medical aid. All danger from the
grip, however, may be avoided by the
prompt use of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. Among the tens of thousands
who have used this remedy, not one
case has ever been reported that has
not recovered. For sale by Eldridge
