Effort to Deprive Count Leopold of
Regency of Lippe Reacts in
Unexpected Manner.

Berlin. Oct. 10-The same rule that
would deprive Court Leopold of the
regency of Lippe would prevent the
kaiser's son. the crown prince, from

Prince Ludwig. son of the present re-
gent, Prince Luitpold. The succession
TO the throne of SaXe-Meiningen may
also be involved.

that his great grandmother was not
of royal blood. belonging only TO the
petite noblesse.

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia

Pneumonia is too dangerous dis
ease for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself, although he may have the
proper remedies at hand. A physician
should always be called. 1t should be
borne in mind, however, that pneumo
MIA always results from a cold or
from an attack of the grip, and by
the proper treatment of these diseas-
es a threatened attack of pneumonia
may be warded off. There is no ques-
ton whatever about this, as during
the thirty years and more that Cham
berlain s Cough Remedy has been
used, we have yet to learn of a single
case of a cold or attack of the grip
having resulted in pneumonia when
this remedy was used. It is also used
by physicians in the treatment of
pneumonia with the best results. DIR.
w. J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala, who is
also a druggist, says of it: "I have
been selling Chamberlain Cough
Remedy and prescribing it in my
practice for the past six years. 1 use
it in cases of pneumonia and have al
ways gotten the best results" Sold
