Experience the Best Teacher.
It is generally admitted that
experience is the best teacher,
but should we not make use of
the experience of others, as well,
as our own? The experience of
a thousands persons is more to be
depended upon than that of one
individual, Many thousands of
persons have used Chamberlain's
Gough Remedy for coughs and
colds with the best results, which
shows it to be a thoroughly relia
ble preparation for those diseases
Try it. It is prompt and effectu
al and pleasant to take. Adv.
Movement of cantonment sup
plies requires the use of more
than 30,000 freight cars. The
railroads haye been making good
on the job.
People Speak Well of Chamber
lain's Tablets.
"I have been selling Chamber
lain's Tablets for about two years
and heard such good reports from :
my customers that I concluded to
give them a trial myself, and can
say that I do not believe there is
another preparation of the kind .
equal to them," writes G. A. Mc
Bride, Headford, Ont. If you
are troubled with, indigestion or
constipation give them ' a trial.
They will do you good. Adv
