Madam, if your husband is like most
men he expects you to look after the
health of yourself and children. Coughs
and colds are the most common of the
minor ailments and are most likely to
lead to serious diseases. A child is much
more likely to contract diphtheria or
scarlet fever when it has a cold. If you
will inquire into the merits of the vari-
Gus remedies that are recommended for
coughs and colds, you will find that
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy stands
high in the estimation of people who use
it. 1t is prompt and effectual, pleasant
and safe to take, which are qualities
especially to be desired when medicine
is intended for children. For sale by all
