Good Cough Medicint For Children.
The season for coughs and colds
is now at hand and too much care
cannot be used to protect the chil
dren. A child is much more likely
to contract diphtheria or scarlet
fever when he has a cold. Th;
quicker you cure his cold the less
the risk.. Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is the sole reliance of many
mothers, and few of those who have
tried it are willing to use any other.
Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of Ripley, W.
Va,, says, T have never used any
thing other than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy for my children and
it has always given good satisfac
tion." ..This remedy contains no
opium or other narcotic and may be
given as confidently to a child as to
an adult. For sale by Frank Hart
and leading druggists.
