Seveniy-Five Years of Service Seventy-five years ago people in New England were telling eath other by epoken words what a wonderful cough and cold remedy Cerizane was. Now the newspapers spread the news through - advertisements. The same company has been making Cerizane all these years. Four generations of. the Wilsod family have prepared this fine medicine. Read what a Rhode Island man, Mr. Henry Walczak of 444 Mill treet, Central Falls, R. I, says about Cerizane, “I had taken a bad cold and it gave me & terrible sore throat and awful cough. I could not sleep and coughed all the time. I took a medicine that helped the cough a little bit, but made my stomach bad and put me all cut of condition. Then a friend, Mr. James O'Brien, of Central Falls, told me to take Cerizane Balsam, I bought a bottle from my druggist and took it regular. When I com- menced 1 was so hoarse that I could only whisper. I was weak from coughing and was sick all oveg, Ceri- zane took the drynmess out of my throat right away. In a little while the cough commenced to get easier and my throat did not hurt so much. Cerizane did not make my stomach bad like the other medicines, but let me eat all right. Then the pain in my chest went away ind before the first bottle of Cerizane was all gone; 1 was well of ths cold, the sore throat | apd the cough. Cerizane Balsam 1is gurely the best cough and throat med- icine.” 3 Cerizane is always to be had of the following: Lerou, 287 Main St, Norwich; €.
