REMARKABLE CURE OP CROUP
A Little Boy’s Life Saved.
1 have a few words to say regard
ing Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
It saved my little boy’s life and I
feel that I cannot praise it enough.
I bought a bottle of it from A. E.
oteere of Goodwin, S. D., and -
when I got home with it the poo>*
baby could hardly breathe. I gave
the medicine as directed every ten
minutes until lie §“threw up” aud
then I thought sure he was going
to choke to death. We had to
pull the phlegm out of his mouth
in great long strings. Iam posi
tive that if I had not got that bot
tle of cough medicine, my boy
would not be on earth to-day.—

# ALL CASES OF
DEAFNESS OR HARD HEARING
ARE NOW CURABLE
by our new invention. Only those born deaf are incurable.
HEAD NOISES CEASE IMMEDIATELY.
F. A. WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS:
Baltimore, Md., March 30, igor
Gentlemen : — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give"von
a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. J 11
About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost
my hearing in this ear entirely. 1
I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num
her of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of "this city, who told me that
only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would
then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. u
I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, 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 lias been entirely restored. I thank you
heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours, * “
