The greatest danger from colds and

If reasonable care is exercised, how
ever, and Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy taken, all danger will be avoided.
Among the tens of thousands who have
used this remedy for those diseases
we have yet to learn of a single case
having resulted in pneumonia, which
shows conclusively that It is a certain
preventive of that dangerous disease.
