Ashburnham, Ont., April 18, 1903.— I think it is only right that I should tell you what a wondorful effect Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has produced. The day before Easter I was so distressed with a cold and cough that 1 did not think to be able to take any duties the next day, as my voice was almost choked by the cough. The same day I received an order from you for a bottle of your Cough Remedy. I at once procured a sample bottle, and took about three doses of the medicine. To my great relief the cough anil cold had completely dis appeared and I was able to preach three times on Easter day. 1 know ; that this rapid and effective euro was due to your Cough Remedy. I make this testimonial without so licitation, being thaukful to have found such a God-sent remedy. Re spectfully yours, E. A. Langfeldt, M. A. Rector of St. Luke’s Church.
