Good Cough Medicine for Children.
The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can
not be used to protect the children.
A child is much more likely to con-
tract diphtheIia or scarlet fever when
he has cold The quicker you cure
his cold the less the risk. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the sole re.
lance of many mothers, and few of
those who have tried 1t are willing to
use any other Mrs. F. II. Starcher, of
Ripley, W. Va, says: Il have never
used anything other than Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy for my child en-
and it has always given good sasisfac-
tion." This remedy contains no opium
or other narcotic and may be given rs
confidently to child as to an adult.
