LA GRIPPE.-No healthy person need fear
any dangerous consequences from an attack
of Ia grippe if properly treated. 1t is much
the same as a severe cold and requires pre-
sisely the same treatment. Remain quietly
at home and take Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy as directed for severe cold and a prompt
and complete recovery is sure to follow. This
remedy also counteracts any tendency of Ia
grippe to result in pneumonia. Among the
many thousands who have used it during the
epidemics of the past two years we have yet
to learn of single case that has not recover
