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 Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia
always results from q cold or from an
attack of influenza (grip), and 1t has
been observed that this remedy coun-
teracts any tendency of these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been full
Nv proven in many thousands of cases
lin 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 Sigh,
cold when no danger is apprehended
until it is suddenly discovered tina,
there is fever and difficulty in breath
ing and pains in the chest, then it is
announced that the patient has pneu-
monia, Be on the safe side and take
