The little daughter of Mr. Fred
Webber, Holland, Mass., had a
very bad cold and cough which he
had not been able to cure with
anything. I gave him a 25-cent
bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy, says W. P. Holden, mer
chant and postmaster of West
Brimfield, and the next time I saw
him he said it worked like a charm.
This remedy is intended especially
for acute throat and lung diseases,
such as colds, croup and whooping
cough, and it is famous for its
cures. There is no danger in giv
ing it to children, for it contains
nothing injurious. For sale by all
druggists.
