How to Stop a Cough. Aimple but effective remedy is the fol- low.
Breathing through the nostrils, inhale a full breath as slowly as is possible wi hout causing fatigue. Expel the breath in the same manner and repeat the operation ten times. This will stop the coughing for ab- out a quarter of an hour. Take a dose of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy during this lull and the medicine will have a better op- portunity to act and will sperdily effect a complete cure. It always cures and cures quickly. For sale by all chemists and medicine vendors; WATKINS Ltd., General Agents.
