Tem.iemcy 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. Ii has been fully demon
straied that pneumonia, one OF the
most dangerous diseas that med
ical men have to contend with, can
Le prevented by the use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneu
monia always results from ii cold
or from an attack of influenza
(grip). and il has been observed
that this remedy counteracts any
tendency of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of cas-
es in which this RENE dy has been
used during the great prevalence
of colds and grip in recen, years.
and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia OF
ten results from IA slight cold when
no danger is apprehended until il
is suddenly discovered that there
is fever and difficulty in breathing
and pains in The chest. then it il
announced that the patient has
pneumonia. Be on the safe side
and take Chambrrlain's Cough
