TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

The tendency of medical science is
 toward preventive measures. The best
 thought of the world is being given to
 the subject. It is easier and better to
 prevent than to cure. It has been fully
 demonstrated that pneumonia, one of
 the most dangerous diseases that med
 ical men have to contend with, can be
 prevented by the use of Chamberlain's
 Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always
 results from a cold or from an attack
 of influenza (gTip), and it has been
 observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward
 pneumonia. This has been fully prov
 en in mary thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used dur ing the great prevalence Of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied
 upon with implicit confidence. Pneu- monia often results from slight cold when TO danger is apprehended until it is suddenly discovered that there is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains in the chest. then it is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be
 on the safe side and take Chamber ] lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is contracted. It always cures
