There are few indeed who escape having at least one cold during the winter months, nd they are fortunate who have but one and get through with it quickly and without any ner ous consequences. Take Chamber berlain's Cough Remedy and observe the directions with each bottle, and you are likely to be one of the fortu nate ones. The worth and merit of this remedy has been fully proven. There are many afmilies who have al ways used it for years when troubled with a cough or cold, and with the very best results. A wsod Business Man. A commercial traveler had taken a large order in Scotland for a consign. mont of hardware and endeavored to press upon the canny Scottish man ager who had given him the order a Christmas gift of a box of IIavana ci gars. "Naw," ho replied. "Don't try to bribe a man. I cudna tak the.a and I am a member of the kirk." "But will you not accept them as a Christmas present?" "I cudna," saidl the Scot. "Well, then," said the traveler, "uap-. pose I sell you the cigars for a merely nominal sum--say, sixpenceI" "Weel, in that case," replied the Scot, "since you press me. and, not liking to refuse an offer weel meant, I think I'll be taking two boxes."
