HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA.

At this time of the year a cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run it's course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-
suit in that dread disease, pneumonia.
We know of no better remedy to cure
a cought or cold than Chamberlain's
Cought Remedy. We have used it
quite extensively, and it has always
given entire isfaction-Olagah, 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
pneumonia. Persons who have weak
lungs or have reason to fear an attack
of pneumonia, should keep the rene
