The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says: Zone of the
objects of the law is to inform the con-
sumner of the presence of certain
harmful drugs in medicines" The
law requires that the amount of chlor-
oform, opium, morphine, and other
habit forming drugs be stated on the
label of each bottle. The manufacture
ers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
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 beyond question dur.
ing the many years it has been In
general use. For sale by all druggists
