GREATLY ALARMED.
By a Persistent Cough, but Permanently
Cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Mr. 11. P. Barbage, a student at law,,
in Greenville, S.C., had been troubled for
four or live years with a continuous cough
which he says, "greatly alarmed me,
causing me to fear that I was in the first
stage of consumption." Mr. Barbage,
having seen Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy
advertised, concluded to try it. Now
read what he says of it: I soon felt u re
markable chacge and after using two
bottles of the twetnty-five cent size, was
permanently cured." Sold by IJ. Tag
gart.
Necessity was the invention of
mothers.
In almost every neighborhood someone
has died frotn an attack of colic or cholera
morbus, often before medicine could be
procured or a physician summoned. A
reliable remedy for these diseases should
be kept at hand. The risk is too great
for any one to take. Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhiea ltemedy has
undoubtedly saved the lives of more peo
ple and relieved more pain and suffering
than any other medicine in use. It can
always be depended upon. For sale by
L. Taggart.
Who cannot be cured should be in
sured.
"A man living on a farm near here
came in short time ago completely doubl
ed up with rbeumalisiu. I handed him
a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and
told him to use it freely and if not sat
isfied after using it he need not pay a
cent for it,"says C. P. Rayder of Pattens
Mills, N. Y. ' A few days later he walk
ed into the store as straight as a string
and banded me a dollar saying give me
another bottle of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm I want it in the house all the
time for it cured me." For sale by L.
Taggart.

Tho Wastes of the Body.
Every seven days the blood, muscles
and bowels of a man of average size loses
two pounds of woruout tissue. This
wastecannot be replenished and the health
and strength keep up without perfect

ive organs fail to perform their functions
the strength lets down, health gives way,
and disease sets up. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure enables the stomach and digestive
organs to digest and assimilate all of the
wholesome food that may be eaten into
the kind of blood that rebuilds the tissues
aud protects the health and strength of
the uiind and body. Kodol cures In

troubles. It is an ideal spring tonic.
