Many Sleepless Nights, Owing to .
Persistent Cough. Relief Found
at Last.

For several winters past my wife
has been troubled with a most persis-
tent and disagreeable cough. which
invariably extended over period oi
several weeks and caused her many
sleepless nights" writes Will ]. Hay
ner, editor of the Burley, Colo, Bull
letin.
Various remedies were tried each
year, with no beneficial results. In
November last the cought again put
in an appearance and my wife, acting
on the suggestion of friend, pur-
chased a bottle Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. The result was in
deed marvellous. After three doses
the cough entirely disappeared and
has not manifested itself since" This
remedy is for sale by Frank Hart
