New Way of Using Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from Durban, Natal, South Africa, says: ■“As a proof that Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is a cure suitable for old and young, I pen you the following: “A neighbor of mine had a child just over two months old. It had a very bad cough and the parents did not know what to give it. I suggested that if they would get a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and put some upon the dummy that the baby was sucking it would no doubt cure the child. This they did and brought about a quick relief and cured the baby.” This remedy is for sale by Cherokee Drug Co., Gaffney; L. D. Allison, Cowpens.
