Noa0, "isns" are precisely what So
ciety at present needs. They alone gave
birth to the older parties in their day,
and gave all of glory to their names that

rotten to the core, and is only to be
despised and avoided.

HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA.

AT this time of the year cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid of some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in
that dread disease, pneumonia. We
know of no better remedy to cure a
cough or cold than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively and it has always given en-
tire Observation-Disclosures, Ind. Ter.
Chief. This Is the only remedy that is
known to be certain preventive of
pneumonia. Among the many thous-
ands who have used it for colds and la
grippe, we have never yet learned of a
single case having resulted in pneumon-
ia. Persons who have weak lungs or
have reason to fear an attack of pneu.
monia, should keep the remedy at hand.
