Recommends chamberlain's Cough
pemedy

GAS long ago as 1 can remember my
mother was faithful user and friend Of
Chamberlain s Cough Remedy, but never
in my life have I realized It's true value
until now," writes Prof. II. A. Howell
of Howell's American school, Hayana,
Cuba. son the night of Feb. our baby
was taken sick with a very severe cold,
the next day was worse, and the follow
ing night his condition was desperate
He could not lie down and it was neces-
sary to have him in the arms every mo-
ment. Even then his breathing was
difficult. did not think he would live
until morning. At last 7 thought of my
mothers remedy, Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, which we gave, and it afforded
prompt relief, and now. three days later,
he has fully recovered. Under the cir
cumstances 1 would not hesitate a mo-
ment in saying that Chamberlain Is
Cough Remedy, and that only, saved
the life of our dear little boy" For sale
