Tendency of tho Times,

Tho tendency of medical science ia
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
tho subject. It is better to prevent than
to cure. 1t has been fully demonstrated
that pneumonia, one Of the most danger
GUS diseases that medical men have to
contend with, can be prevented by
the use OF Chamberlains Cough Remedy
pneumonia always results from cold or
from or from attack Of influenza
(grip), and it mas been observed that
this remedy counteracts any tendency of
these diseases towards pnemonia. This
has been fully proven in many thousand
OF cases in which this remedy hus been
used during the great prevalence Of colds
and grip in recent years, and can be, re-
lied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from q slight
cold when no danger is apprehended nn-
til it is suddenly 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
