Secretary Wilson says: "One Of the oh
iects Of the law is to inform the consumer
OF the presence OF certain harmful drugs In
medic. The law requires that the amount
oil sehlorotorm. opium. morphine. and
other habit formsng drugs be stated on
the label Of zach bottle. The manufacture
ers OF Chanberlain'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.

contemplate the erection of a beet

italist will involve the expenditure
in the near future of three times
that amount.
