THE BEST COUGH MEDICINE.

THE BEST COUGH MEDICINE.
When a druggist finds that his
customers all speak well of certain
preparation, he forms a good opinion
of it and when in need of such a
medicine is almost certain to use ii
himself and in his family. This is
why so many druggists use and rec
ommend Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. ]. B. Jones. a well known
druggist of Cubrun, KY, says, 81

edy in my family for the past seven

NO GREAT ACT OF HEROISM
REQUIRED.

If some great act of heroism was
necessary to protect a child from
Group, no mother would hesitate to
protect her offspring, but when it is
only necessary to keep at hand a bot
tie of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and give it as soon as the first in
dication of Group appears, there are
many who neglect it. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is within the reach
of all and is prompt and effectual.

Would you not like to feel that
your stomach troubles are over, that
you can eat any kind of food that

that Chamberlain's Tablets have cur

The greater part of the month has
been spent in orchard, terracing and

mentioned meetings were orchard
demonstrations where farmers were
taught to set, prune and spray their
trees. Most of the terracing work
was done for individuals by making
short visits to each farmer. Terrace

but on account Of rainy disagreeable
weather the work could not be done
Three cars of Acid Phosphate were
unloaded for the farmers at a good

were placed to be ordered later.
Several days were spent in live

How the Use of this External Treat
ment for Cold Troubles
Has Grown

Z TORE than score Of years ago, Luns-
M ford Richardson, druggist in little
' l. North Carolina town, was trying to
find q new way to treat spamodic Group and
colds. He had been trying to find it for years
he needed such treatment in his own home
he knew that epicac and internal medicines
disturbed the delicate digestons Of children
that the only way to get medication directly
to the air passages and lungs was in vapos
form. So he was searching for an effective
vapor treatment which would be economical,
convenient, and which could be used without
the necessity Of closing up the sick room and
thus excluding the fresh air, % important in
the treatment of colds.
At last, this druggist found a process by
which he could combine in salve form the
standard, time-tested remedies:-Cmmphor,
Menthol, Eucalyptus, Thymol and Turpentine
with other volatile oils 20 that when this
salve was spread over the throat and chest the
ingredients would be vaporized by the body
heat. These vapors, inhaled with each breath
all night long, carried the medication directly
to the parts affected and at the same time the
