prominent manufacturer has Of
fered a prize of one thousand dollars
for the best essay on preventive medi-
cine, believing that a proper exercise
of preventive medicine Is OF incal-
culable benefit to the human race"
The tendency of medical science Is to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given
to the subject 1t is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one of the most dangerous diseases that
medical men have to contend with, can
be prevented by the use Of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia al
ways results from q cold or from an
attack Of influenza grip, and 1t has
been observed that this remedy coun-
teracts the tendency of these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of cases
in which this remedy has been used
during the great prevalence of colds
and grip in recent years, and can be
relied upon with implicit confidence.
