In a recent article in the Youths Conl-
pdnion. on How to Cure a Cold" a
writer advises a hot lemonade to be taken
at bed time. 1t is a dangerous treatment
as it opens the pores of the skin and
leaves the system in such condition that
another and more severe cold is certain
to be contracted. Many years constant
use and the experience of thousands of
persons has fully demonstrated that there
is nothing better for a severe cold than
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t acts
In perfect harmony with nature, relieves
the lungs, l~iquifies the tough tenacious
mucus, making it easier to expectorate,
and restore the system to a strong and
healthy condition. For sale by B. B.
