Has Used Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for 90 Years.

"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
been used. in my household for the
past twenty years. I began giving it
to my children when they were small.
AS a quick relief for Group, whoop-
ing cough, and ordinary colds, it has
no equal. Being free from opium
and other harmful drugs, never felt
afraid to give it to the children. I
have recommended it to a large num-
her of friends and neighbors, who
have used it and speak highly of it,
