with a cough. 4 cough is a danger sig

no more try to suppress it than to sup
press a fire bell when it is ringing, but
should cure the disease that causes the
coughing. This can nearly always be
done by taking Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. Many have used it with the
most beneficial results. 1t is especially
valuable for the persistent cough that
so often follows a bad cold or an attack
