The Pure Food Law.
Secretary Wilson says: “One of the
objects of the law is to inform the con-
sumer of the presence of certain harm-
ful drugs in medicines.” The law re-
quires that the amount of chloroform,
opium, morphine, and other habit
forming drugs be stated on the label
of each bottle. The manufacturers of
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy have
always claimed that their remedy did
not contain any of these drugs, and
the truth of this claim is now fully
proven, as no mention of them is made
on the label. This remedy is not only
one of the safest, but one of the bast
in use for coughs and colds. Its value
has been proven beyond question dur-
ing the many years it has been in
general use. For sale by City Drug
Store—Man & Simmons.
