er weather may be expected behind
these storms. Through the 11th and
13th, there will be decided storuu. A
change for cooler will follow these
storms, but will be of short duration.

tral about the 22nd and 23rd, and sjme

A VALUABLE MEDICINE
for coughs AND COLDS IX CHILDREN.
"1 have not the slightest hesitancy
in recommending Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy to all who are suffering
from coughs or colds.'' says Chas. M.
Cramer, Esq., a well known watch
maker, of Colombo, Ceylon. "Ii has
been some two years since the City
Dispensary first called my attention to
this valuable medicine and I have re-
peatedly used it and it has always been
beneficial. It has cured me quickly of
all chest colds. It is especially effect-
ive for children and seldom takes more
than one bottle to cure them of hoarse-
ness I have persuaded many to try
this valuable medicine, and they are
all as well pleased as myself over the
results.'' For sa.e by C R Miller.
