Nearly all cough, medicines that arc offered are offered for gale simply control the. cough—that is all. -There is nothing healing about them. This is where tliey differ so greatly from Chamberlain's Cougli Remedy. When th'e mucous lining of tho throat becomes congested, when tho lining membrane of the brondiial tube is inflamed, or when the most delicate tissues of the lungs becomo affected, then Chamberlain's Cough Remedy- shows itself superior to all other anedVcinee, because of its healing and strengthening properties. Its power to cowtrol congestion and inflammation puts it in a different lisc from liny other cough medicine. Chamberlain's Cougflu Remedy soothes, heals, and strengthens. The cough disappears, for tho cansei has been removed. For sale chejnif.ts and storekeepers.
