Road what he says : "About a year ago I was very sick with a severe attack of lung trouble. 1 tried a great nany physicians , and they all told me I had luick consumption , and I was entirely given up , so weak I could hardly walk. I travel- sd all through Nebraska and Colorado to iy and get relief , but without effect. Often imes after a severe spell of coughing my riends would cover me up , expecting every noment I would breathe my last. I was then brought back home , and as a last resort , 'like a drowning man catching at a straw , " [ began using Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy md the result is , I am strong , healthy and well , attending to my business.
