Secretary Wilson says, "One OF the
objects OF the law is to inform the
consumer OF the presence of certain
harmful irugs in medicines" The law
requires that the amount OF chloro-
form, opium, morphine, and other
habit forming drugs be stated on the
label Of each bottle. The manufac-
turers of Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy have always claimed that their
remedy, did not contain any OF these
drugs, and the truth OF this claim is
now fully proven, as no mention OF
them is made on the label. This
remedy is not only one of the safest
but one OF the best in use for coughs
and colds. Its value has been proven
