bad croup in a violent form," says
Elder John W. Rotters, a Christian
Evangelist, of Filley, Mo. "I gave her
a tew doses of Chamberlain's Cough
ttemeay and in a short time all danger
was past and the -child recovered."
This remedy not only cures croup, but
wben given as soon as the first symp
toms appear, will prevent the attack.
It contains no opium or other harmful
substance and may be given as confi
dently to a baby as to an adult. For

Marriage at Littleton.
The Littleton correspondent to the
News and Observer of 10th said :
"A very beautiful marriage, inter
esting to a great many friends of the
happy contracting parties in the States
of Virginia andj North Carolina, was
solemnized at Littleton on Wednesday,
Nov. 7.
Owing to a recent family bereave
ment the service was performed at the
home of the bride's father in the pres
ence of immediate friends and relatives.
The bride was Miss Susie A. House,
one of Littleton's fairest and most ac
complished daughters, and the groom
was Mr. Charles Dowtin, of Norfolk,
Va. They were surrounded during the
ceremony, which was impressively per
formed by Rev. J. D. Humble, pastor
of Littleton M. E. Church, by Miss
Irma Johnson and Miss Sallie Hoube,
who acted as bridesmaids, and by Mr.
Erwin House and Mr. Henry Dowtin,
who officiated in the capacity of
groomsmen. The beautiful wedding
service was enhanced by the simple
elegance of the surroundings and at its
conclusion the newly wedded eouple
left for a bridal tour to the principal
olties of the north. A very handsome
supper to the bridal party was one of
the special features of the evening pre
ceding the happy event.
"The bride is the daughter of Mr.
James H. House and has been a uni
versal favorite in this section of the
State. The groom is very prominent
in the business circles of tidewater
Virginia and is regarded as one of the
most prosperous citizens in the vicini
ty of Norlolk.
"The heartiest congratulations were
showered upon them and the best wishes
of all our people follow them."

F. A. WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS:
Baltimore, Mil., March 30, 1901.
Gentlemen : Being entirely cured of deefness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you
a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion.
About five vears ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept 011 getting worse, until I lost
my hearing in this ear entirely.
I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any Fiiccef-s, consulted a num
ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear r.peciaiist of "t'nisoitv, who told ine that
only an operation could help me, and even tl:at only temporarily, that the head noises would
then cease, but the bearing in the affected ear wjdld be lost forever."
I then saw your advertisement accident all v in a New York p iper, and ordered your treat
ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and
to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you
heartily and beg to remain 1 Very truly years.
