The ordinary cough medicine may soothe the throat, but it has no power to heal ; recovery is not complete, and a second attack is more liable to follow. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is quite different, because it not only soothes but also heals, so that the affected parts are restored to a healthy condition, and the danger of a future attack is removed. For sale by all dealers.
