never In my life have I realized Its
true value until now," writes Prof. H.

of February 8rd our baby waa taken
sick with a very severe cold ; the next
day was worse and tbe following night
Pis condition was neaperate. ne could
not lie down and It was necesearv to
have him in the arms every moment.
Even then his breathing was difficult.
I did not think he would live until
morning. At last I thought of mr
mother's remedy, Chsmberialn'sCough
Kemedy.wn'.cn we gave, ana it snordea
Krompt relief, end now 3 days later, be
as fully recovered. Under tbe circum
stances I would not hesitate a moment
in saying tbat Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, end that only, tared the life
of oar dear little boy." For tale by C.
