Remedy in His House. ;
"Wo would not be without Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. It is kept on hand contin
ually in our home," says W. W. Ke&rney,
editor of the Independent, Lowry City, Mo.
That is just what every family should do.
When kept at hand ready for instant use, a
cold may be checked at the outset and cured
in much less time than after it has become
jettled in the system. This remedy is also
without a peer for croup in children, and
will prevent the attack when given as soon
as the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the croupy cough appears, which can only be
done when the remedy is kept at hand. , For
