PNEUMONIA PREVENTED.

Among the tens of thousands who
have used Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy for colds and la grippe during the
past few years, to our knowledge, not a
single case has resulted in pneumonia.
Thos. Whitfield & Co., 24O Wabash ave-
nue., Chicago, one of the most promi-
nent retail druggists in that city, in
speaking of this says: I'VE recommend
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for la
grippe in many cases, as it not only
gives prompt and complete recovery,
but also cOunteracts any tendency of
la grippe to result in pneumonia" For
