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.
