A medical ! man advised me to get Chamberlain’s ! Cough Remedy, and I did so. A de* I cided improvement was noticed before | the first bottle wag uspd, and X am j pleased to state that after he had I 1 taken four bottles, be was completely cured, and is now enjoying the best of health. —For sale by Johnson and Wigg, agents,
