Our better halves say they could not keep house without Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. It is used in more than half the houses in Leeds. Sims Bros., Leeds, loawa. This shows the esteem in which that remedy is held where it has been sold for years and is well known. Mothers have learned there is nothing so good for colds, croup and whooping cough, that it cures these ailments quickly and permanently, and that it is pleasant and safe for children to take.

At the annual meeting of the Cambridge Farmers’ Club, the president said that a reply had been received from the Railway Department, saying that great concessions had already been made in the carriage of milk and cream, which was already lower than in any other of the Australian colonies. It could not be lowered at present, but a reduction of 20 per cent, would shortly be made upon the carriage of milk for cheesemaking. It was thought an unsatisfactory reply, and the Executive Committee was instructed to again apply to the Government to have the rates on milk and cream lowered. The majority of the members spoke strongly against the rate on milk for cheese making being lowered and that for butter making being left as at present. It was resolved to support the efforts of the Geraldine Farmers’ Club to get a conference of those interested in the frozen meat trade.

Any one who has children will rejoice with L, B. Mulford, of Plainfield, N.J. His little boy, five years of age, was sick with croup. For two days and nights he tried various remedies recommended by friends and neighbours. He says: “ I thought sure I would lose him. I had seen Chamberlain’s Cough Kemedy advertised and thought I would try it as a last hope and am happy to say that after two doses he slept until morning. I gave it to him next day and a cure was effected. I keep this remedy in the house now and as soon as any of my children show signs of croup I give it to them and that is the last of it.” For sale by J. 0. Oddie.
