Few Escape.

There are very few indeed who escape
having at least one cold during the Win
ter months, and they are fortunate who
have but one and get through with 1t
quickly and without any serious conse-
auences. Take Chamberlain 8 Cough Re-
medy and observe the directions with
each bottle, and you are likely to be one
of the fortunate ones. The worth and
merit of this remedy has been fully pro-
ven. There are many families who have
always used 1t for years when troubled
