.CHAMBERL AIMS
COUGH REMEDY
AMEDICINE OFsREAL WORTH
AND MERIT.
It Not Only Cures Colds and Grip,
But Prevents Them From Re-
sulting in Pneumonia.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is intended
especially for acute throat and lung diseases,
of which colds, Group and whooping cough
are the most common. Those who have
used it for years and are in position to
know its real value, assert that it is with
out an equal for the treatment of these dis
eases. It not only cures colds and grip, but
counteracts any tendency toward pneumonia.
1t has come into almost universal use as
preventiyeand cure for Group, and has never
been known to fail.
In cases Of whooping cough it keeps the
cough loose, expectoration easy and renders
the paroxy sms Of coughing less frequent and
less severe, depriying that disease Of all dan
gerous consequences.
It is pleasant to take, which is of much
importance when the medicine must be given
to small children.
It contains no opium or other harmful
substance, and may be given as confidently
to baby as to an adult.
It is an ideal remedy both for adults and
children, and we think the most perfect and
most efectual yet produced in any country.

i. p. Fowler of the Merchants and
Miners Transportation company SAID
he was with the Union Pacific prior

there was still competition to Mis-

Coming down to our own time, and to

commercially, orange culture has existed
In California only since 1872. Until that
time the bulk of the oranges used in
this country were imported from the
INSTRUMENTATION oranges from Va
lencia, Spain and Malta; the aromatic,
delicious little Tangierines and Mandarins
from ST. Michaels and Lisbon; and the
bitter oranges from Seville.
Seedless oranges were first introduced

the joint efforts Of one William Saunders,
