tnOrlpiio Successfully Treated,
'I havo iust recovered from tho second
attack of la grippe this year," ays Mr,
James A. Jonos, publisher of the Leader,
Moxia, Texas. "In tho latter case I
used Chnmborlain's Couch Remedy, and
I think with considerable success, only
being in bed a little over two days
aginst ten days for tho former attack.
Tho second attack I am atisflod would
have been equally as bad as tho first
but for tho use of this remedy as I had
to go to bed in about six hours' after be-
ing 'struck' with it, while in tho first
place I was able to attend to business
about ,two days before getting 'down.' "
