Nearly all cough medicines that are offered for sale simply control the cough—that is all. There is nothing healing about them. This is where they differ so greatly from Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. When the mucous lining of the throat becomes congested, when the lining membrane of the bronchial tube is inflamed, or when the most delicate tissues of the lungs become affected, then Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy shows itself superior to all other medicines, because of its healing and strengthening properties. Its power to control congestion and inflammation puts it in a different list from any other cough medicine. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy soothes. bealsV-'K-rid strengthens. The cough disappears, f r, r the cause has been removed. Fm sale by J. B, Johnson, Agent,—Ad ; - t.
