A weak stomach means weak stom-

true of the heart and kidneys. 1t is a
pity that sick ones continue to drug
the stomach or stimulate the heart and
kidneys. The weak nerves., not the or

Many SIeepIess Nights, Owing to a Per.
sistert Cough. Relief Found at Last.
"For several winters past my wife
has been troubled with a most persist
ent and d~isagreeable cough, which in
yariably extended over a period of sew
eral weeks and caused her many Sleep
less nights" writes Will j. Hayner,
editor of The Bulletin, Burley, Colo.
Various remedies were tried each
year, with no beneficial results. In
November last the cough again put in
an appearance and my wife, acting on
the suggestion of a friend, purchased a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The result was indeed marvellous. At
ter three doses the cough entirely dis
appeared, and has not manifested itself
since. For sale by Laurens Drug Co.
