New England were telling cath other
by spoken words what a wonderful
cough and cold remedy Cerizane was.
Now the newspapers spread the news
through advertisements. The same
company has been making Cerizane
all these years. Four generations of
the Wilson family have prepared this
fine medicine. Read what a Rhode
Island man, Mr.. Henry Walczak OF
444 Mill treet, Central Falls, r. l.,
says about Cerizane.
Il had taken a bad cold and Il gave
me terrible sore throat and awful
cough. l could not sleep and coughed
all the time. took a medicine that
helped the cough little bit, but made
my stomach bad and put me all out
OF condition. Then a friend, Mr..
James O'Brien, OF Central Falls, told
me to take Cerizane Balsam.
bought bottle from my druggist
and took it regular. When I com
menced was so hoarse that / could
only whisper. I was weak from
coughing and was sick all over. Cert
zane took the dryness out of my
throat right away. In a little while
the cough commenced to get easier
and my throat did not hurt so much.
Certzane did not make my stomach
bad like the other medicines, but let
me eat all right. Then the pain In
my chest went away and before the
first bottle of Cerizane was all gone
was well OF the cold, the sore throat

 What Professor Palmer and others nave attempted cannot be done Wives and hu., aHdS cannot be outspoken of one another in print.

 Nor can son or daughter write freely of Il father or mother. Censure would be regarded as impiety; and praise though perfectly just, would be viewed with suspicion.
