Tendency Of the Times.

sSU0CttOy " VIC suHtSos
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 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 (grip), and 1t has been OBJ
served that this remedy counteracts
any tendency of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully prov
en- 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. Pneumonia
often results from a slight cold when
no danger is Appreciated until 1t is
suddenly discovered that there is fe-
yer 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. 1t always cures.
