Beyond this, there are to day countless invalids who can trace their complaints to ‘“colds,” which at the time of occur rence gave oo concern, and were therefore neglected.—When troubled with a cold use Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. It is prompt and eventual. 35 and 5Q cent bottles iqr sale by J. R. Adams & Son. m It pot only is so, it must be so, One Minute Cough Cure acts quickly, and that’s what makes tt go. J. R.
