According to the Taranaki Herald, a New Plymouth tailor is reported to have made a couple cf very profitable suits of clotfies reoently. A customer offered him, some weeks ago, a couple of petroleum shares in payment, for two suits, and he accented the offer, recognising that if the sorip was only worth its face value, he was not ill-paid for his work. He has just disposed of one of the £5 shares for £49, and steadily refuses to part with the other. The other party to the transaction is probably not in the same self-satisfied frame of mind. A mother's recommendation. Mrs Mary Gray, Wagonga (N.8.W.), wiites"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a splendid reputation in this district, and I know of many cases where acute croup and bronchitis have been cured. I had been a sufferer from bronchial asthma for many years, and never faund any treatment that would relieve me until I commenced taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and that completely cured me. It has never failed to cure coughs or complaints among the members of my family. I always keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the house, and would advise all mothers to do likewise.
