(f. I was seriously afllicted with n cough for several years, and last fall had a more severe cough than ever before. I have used many remedies without recieving much relief, and being recommended to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, by a friend, who, knowing me to be a poor widow, gave it to pie, I tried it, and with the most gratifying results. The first bottle relieved mo very much and the second bottle has absolutely cured me. I have not had as good health for twenty years. Itespectfnlly, Kbs. Mary A. Bkard, Claremore, Ark.
