Dr
"the only remedy I use for the
lungs is Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. While, of course, 1 would
treat other symptoms with different
medicines, I have used this remedy
many times in tny medical practice
and have yet failed lo find a cate
where it hat not controlled the trou

alto my wife, for cought and coldt
repeatedly, and I most willingly
and cheerfully recommend it as
superior to any other cough remedy
to my knowledge." For tale by E.
