edly in every state in the Union and
in many foreign countries that Cham

preventative und cure for croup. It
has become the universal remedy for

been said around the globe when he
writes s "J have used Chtmberlaiu's
Cough Remedy in my family for sev
eral rears and always with perfect
suocess. We telieve that it is not
omy the best cough remedy, but
that it is a sure cure for croup. It
has saved the lives of our children a
number of times." This remedy is
