Zone Touch Of Nature Takes the

When rooster finds big fat worm he
calls all the hens in the farm yard to come
and share il. A similar trait Of human
nature is to be observed when man dis
covers something exceptionally good--he
wants all his friends and neighbors to share
the benefits Of his discovery. This is the
touch OF nature that makes the whole world
kin. This explains why people who have
been cured by Chamberiain's Cough Rem
edy write letters to the manufacturers for

may also use il and obtain relief. Behind
every one Of these letters is warm heart
