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 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 Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from cold
or from an attack of influenza (grip, J
and it has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency of
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands OF cases in which this RENE
dy has been used during the great pre-
valence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from IA slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until it is sud
denly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains
10 the chest, then it is announced that
the patient has pneumonia. Be on
the safe side and take Chamberlain
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is
contracted, 1t always cures For

tion of newEheating plant, would it
not be good thing if some enterpris-

heating plant for the city? The heat
ing of the court house and Jail could
