Whooping Cough.
“In the spring of 1901 my children had
whooping cough,” says Mrs. D. W. Capps
of Capps, Ala. I used Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy with the most satisfactory
results. I think this is the best remedy
I have ever seen for whooping cough.
Tlis remedy keeps the cough loose,
sens the severity and frequentcy of the
coughing spell; and counteracts any
deney toward pneumonia. For sale bv

remedy for Rheumatism, Catarrh, and
1 Kidney and Bladder complaints, has met
j with almost instantaneous success be
cause it has made some noteworthy
j cures of very severe cases.
Mr. Jolin Post, of the Atlanta Fire
| Dept., writes:
< < For months I suffered with my kid- t
neys. I made every effort to get relief,
but failed until I accidentally came in
possession of a bottle of Black Weed.
The relief obtained from its use was so
great before half the first bottle had
been used, that I put aside all other
medicines and am now sound and well,
having been cured completely by Black
Weed. At the same time 1 had an ag
gravated case of Catarrh of the head
and throat. Black W T eed has completely
cured this, and my head is now as clear
as a bell.”
