Good Cough Medicine for Children.
The season for coughs and colds is
now nt hand and too much enre cannot
be ustfd. to protect the children. A child
is more likely to contract diphtheria or
scarlet fever when he has a cold. The
quicker you cure his cold tho less the
risk. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
the sole reliance of many mothers, and
few of thoso who have tried it are
willing to uso any other. Mrs. F, F.
8tarcher of Ripley, W. Va.. says: "I
have never used nny other than Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy for my chil
dren nnd it has always given good sat
isfaction.' This remedy contains no
opium or other narcotic and may be
given as confidently to a child as to
aa adult. For sale by Haskins' drug
store. m
