"When I had an attack of the grip j last winter (the second one) I actually ourod myself with one bottlo of Cham berlain's Cough Romcdy," says Frank W. Perry, Editor of tho Enterprise, Shorts ville, N. Y. "This is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a teaspoonful of this remedy, and wnon the coughing spoil would come on at night I would take a dose and it seemed that in the briefost Interval tho cough would pass off and I would go to sloop perfeotly free from cough and its accompanying pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most agree able surprise is putting it very mildly. I bad no idea that it would or oould knock I ont tho grip, simply because I had never tried lt for such a purpose, but it did, and it se einen with tho second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only be of less duration, but the pains wero far less severo, and I had not us*?d the contents of one bottle boforo Mr. Grip bad bid me adieu."
