There are few indeed who es
cape having at least one cold
during the winser months, and
tbev are fortunate who have but
one and get through with it
quickly and without, any serious
consequences. Take Chambe
Iain's Cough Remedy andobserve
the directions with each bottle,
a Lid you are likely to be one of
the fortunate ones. The worth
and merit jof this remedy has
been fully proven. There are
many families who have always
nfeed it for years when troubled
with a cough or cold, and with
tne very best results.
