Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Always
Proves Effectual.
From the Glenville (SV. Va.,) Pathfinder.
There are no better medicines on
the market than Chamberlain’s. We
have used the Cough Remedy when
all others failed, and in every instance
it proved effectual. Almost dally we
hear the virtues of Chamberlain’s
remedies extolled by those who have
naed them. This is not an empty pnff
paid for at so much a line, but is vol¬
untarily given in good faith, in the
hope that suffering humanity may try
the remedies, and like the writer be
benefited. For sale by J. II. Good¬
