Safe Medicine for Children.
“Is it safe?” is the first question
to be considered when buying cough
medicine for children. Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy has long been a favor
ite with mothers of young children,
as it contains no opium or other nar

confidently as to an adult. It is pleas
an to take, too. which is of great
importance when a medicine must be
given to young children. This rem
edy is most effectual in relieving a
cough, colds, croup. Obtainable ev
erywhere. Advt.
