Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 'When 1 had an attack of. the grip last winter (the second one) 1 actually cured myself with one bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy," says Frank W. Perry, editor of the Enterprise, Shortville, N. Y. "This is the honest truth. I at times kept from cough ing myself to pieces by taking a tea spoonful of this remedy, and when the coughing spell would come on at night I would take a dose and it seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and I would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and its ac companying pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most agreeable sur prise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that it would or couid knock out the grip, simply because I never tried it for such a purpose, but It did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only to be of late duration, but the pains were far less severe, and I had not used the contents of one bottle before Mr. Grip had bid me adieu."
