The Nile is essentially a river of silence
and mystery. Even the camels turn their
beautiful soft eyes upon you as If you
were intruding upon their silence and re-
serve. Never were the eyes in a human
head SO beautiful as the camels. There is

opportunities, you might have done more

How TO Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from cold or
an attack of la grippe. During the
epidemic of la grippe few years ago
when so many cases resulted in pncu-
monia, it was observed that the attack
was never followed by that disease
when Chamberlain Cough Remedy
was used. 1t counteracts any tendency
of cold or la grippe to result in that
dangerous disease. 1t is the best
remedy in the world for bad colds and
la grippe. Every bottle warranted.
