While the causes of all coughs are primarily the same yet tt condition of the patient is what makes the difference in the nature of the cough itself. Coughs of healthy persons are easier to cure than the coughs of invalids. The more powerful convulsive cough of a big man is harder to cure than the cough of a baby. If. you get a remedy that will eure a big man's cough and yet not be too powerful for the baby, you have a good cough remedy. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is jpst this kind of remedy. It is good for any member of the family. It relieves coughs of all kinds. It is composed of things which eure easily and soothingly without "harming the delicate tissues of the throat, and is the ideal remedy for coughs, colds, croup, influenza and whooping cough.
