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
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 cold or from an at
tack of influenza (grip)' and it has been
observed that this remedy counteracts
any tendency of these diseases towards
pneumonia. This has been fully proven
in many thousands of caaes in which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until it is suddenly dis
covered 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 Chamberlain Cough Remedy
as soon as the cold is contracted. 1t al.
ways cures. For sale by all druggists.

800 Reward, S1OG,

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all Its stages, and that is
Oatarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Oatarrh Cure is ia
ken internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing it's work.

curative powers, that they offer One

fails to cure. Send for list of testimo

The Easy Pill.

DeWitt,s Little Early Risers do not
grippe nor weaken the system. They
cure billiousness, jaundice, constipation
and inactive livers, by arousing the Sc
cretions, moving the bowels gently, yet
effectually, and giving such tone and
strength to the glands of the stomach,
liver and bowels that the cause of the
trouble is removed entirely. These fam
Gus little pills exert decided tonic ef-
feet upon the organs involved, and if
their use is continued for a few days
there will be no return of the trouble.
