CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REM.

Enormous Sale on 1t Largely Due
to Personal Recommendations
ofPeople Who Have Been
Cured BY 1t.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been on
the market for over one-third Of century.
Starting from a small beginning il has grown
in favor and popularity until the demand for
il often requires shipments in carload lots
II is now on sale ut almost every drug store
and most country cross road stores in the
United States. There is no question as TO
it's merits; in fact, the enormous sale on il
has been brought about to a large extent by
the personal recommendations of people who
have been cured by it. When you use a
remedy for a cough or cold and find il far
superior TO any other that you have ever
tried, it is natural that you should tell your
friends Of your good fortune. II has become
the mothers favorite for coughs colds and
Group, as they found that it can always be
depended upon, and that it contains no opium
or other harmful drugs. During these years
in which we have been making, selling and
using this preparation we have never known
OF a single case of a cold resulting in pneu
monia when Chanberlains Cough Remedy
was used, which leads us TO believe that it is
a certain preventive of that disease. The
fact that IL can be depended upon in every
case has crowned it with the success il enjoys.

Alfred Nobel recently to large sal
wage firm. Messrs. Kolbe & Co.
This vessel which is well known am
ong seafaring men as being especially
well adapted for salvage work, was
originally bought from the firm of
Nobel & Co. by the South Africa Sal
wage company, and fitted out by them
at cost of c2G,00O, including pur,
chase money, for salvage work on the
African coast generally, and for the
recovery of Kruger's alleged millions
in particular, on advice OF Captain
Gardner.
From first to last the undertaking
appears to have been a failure, The
Alfred Nobel made her way via the
Suez canal to the east coast, and
after a few pieces OF salvage work
In one of which he Is said TO have
recovered a thousand pounds wortf
of old china from the wreck OF 9

made to explode the wreck OF tnC
