Her brother Charles was coughing too, and their mother had tried several remedies without success. Then Lorraine’s Aunt, who had used REM herself, sug- gested to Mrs, Zepnick that she buy a bottle for the children. “Lor- raine’s cough was the worse.” says Mrs. Zepnick, “so I started giving REM to her. That was Sunday and by Monday night her cough ‘was gone, I gave it to Charles too, and a few doses ended his cough- ing.” REM'’s a great remedy for coughs, as thousands who have used it testify.
