LUKES, Ashburnham, Ontario, Testifies to the Good Qualities of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Ashburnham, Ont., April 18, 1903.— I think it is only right that I should tell you what a wonderful effect Chamber lain’s Cough Remedy has produced. The day before Easter I was so dis tressed with a cold that I did not think to lie able to take any duties the next day. as my voice was almost choked by the cough. The same day I re ceived an order from you for a bottle of your Cough Remedy. I at. once pro cured a sample bottle, and took about three doses of the medicine. To my great relief the cough and cold had completely disappeared and I was able to preach three times on Easter Day. I know that this rapid and effective cure was due to your Cough Remedy. I make this testimonial without solici tation, being thankful to have found such a Godsent remedy. Respectfully yours, E. A. Langfeldt, M. A., Rector of St. Luke’s Church. To Chamberlain Medicine Co.
