After many years' experience in
the use of it and other cough medi
cines, there are many who prefer
Chamberlain's to any other. Mrs. A.

"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
been used in my mother's home ana
mine for years, and we always found
it a quick cure for colds and bron

most reliable cough medicine we
have used."
