George Andrews, Rochester, Victoria, writes: —“My occupation of a rabbit trapper obliges me to be out at night attending to the traps, and while so doing I contracted a severe cold. After trying other cough mixtures on the market, I was recommended to give Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy a trial. It gave me immediate relief, and three bottles completely cured me. I can with every confidence recommend Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy to anybody having a cough or cold.” For sale by T. H. Bredin, Marton, Ellis Bros., Hunterville, and W. B. Clark.; Bulls.
