The deceased possessed a bright, sunny, disposition; had a heart as big as all out of doors and performed many deeds of charity of which the world has neverheard.

Two years ago during a political campaign, I caught cold after being overheated, which irritated my throat and I was finally compelled to stopj as I could not speak aloud. in my extremity a friend advised me to use Chamberlain s Cough Remedy. I took two doses that af ternoon and could not believe my senses when I found the next morn ing the inflammation had largely subsided. I tooK several doses that day, kept right on talking through the campaign, and 1 thank this med jcine that I won my seat in the Council." This remedy is for sale by J. M.
