It Would Spall this Story to Tell It In
Headlines.
To use an eighteenth century phrase,
this is an "o'er true tale." Having hap
pened in a small Virginia town in the
winter of 11)02, it is a story very much of
the present. Up to a short time ago
Mrs. John K. Harmon, of Melfa Station,
Va , had no personal knowledge of the
rare curative properties of Chamber
lain's Couch Remedy. "Last January,"
nhe says, "my baby took a dreadful cold
and at one time I feared she would have
pneumonia, but one of my neighbors
told me how this remedy had. cured her
little boy and I gave it to my baby at
ouco and it soon cured her. I heartily
thank the manufacturers of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy for placing so
great a core within my reach. 1 cannot
recommend it too highly or say too much
ia its favor. I hope all who read this
will try it and be convinced as I was."
