If you arc in any way interested in the
subject , experience of Mr. A. C. McGrew , a
merchant at Manhattan , Iowa , may be of
value to you. Head what he says :
' 'About a year ago T was very sick with a
severe attack of lung trouble , i tried a great
many physicians and they all told me I had
quick consumption , and I was entirely given
up , so weak I could hardly walk. I travel
ed all through Nebraska and Colorado to
try and get relief , but without effect. Often
times alter a severe spell of coughing my
friends would cover me np , expecting every
moment I would breathe my last. I was then
brought back home , and as a last resort ,
"like a drowning man catching at a straw , " '
I began using Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy
and the result is , I am strong , healthy and
well , attending to my business Chamber-
Iain's Cough Jfemedy I shall recommend as
long as I live , for to that I owe everything. ' '
