Nature Cures, The Doctor Takes the
Fee

There is an old saying that Mature
cures, the doctor takes the fee," but
as everyone knows you can help Ma
ture very much and thereby enable it
to effect a cure in much less time than
is usually required. This is particu-
larly true of colds. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy relieves the lungs, liq-
uifies the tough mucus and aids in its
expectoration, allays the cough and
aids Nature in restoring the system
to a healthy condition.

that this year as never before the use

to use unavoidable left overs for ami
