Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measure. 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
Chsmberlain's Cough Remedy
Pneumonia always results from cold
or from an attack of influenza (grip, J
and 1t 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 rem
edy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia oft
en- results from a slight cold when no
danger is appreheEded until it is sud
denly 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 Chamberlain 8
