There are few indeed who escape
having at least one cold during the
winter months, and they are fortu-
nate who have but one and get
through with it quickly and without
any serious consequences. Take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
observe the directions with each bot.
tie, and you are likely to be one OF
the fortunate ones. The worth and
merit OF this remedy has been fully
proven. There are many families who
have always used It for years wAeu

with the very best results. Advt.
