mother has learned how to relieve
them quickly. We've known
about REM for several years

instead of being kept awake by
coughing. | myself think REM's
great. We always get it at Ler-
mans Drug Store at S. 23rd and

coughs any good. and many a
person has REM to thank for
good nights sleep. REM is sold

After trying to reaSsure Mrs.
Burton and conceal his own

There came a knock on the
