When You Have a Cold.

The first action when you have a
cold should be to relieve the lungs.
This is best accomplished by the free
use OF Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
This Remedy liqueties the tough
mucus and causes its expulsion from
the air cells of the lungs, produces a
free expectoration, and opens the
secretions. A complete cure soon
follows. This remedy will cure a
severe cold in less time than any other
treatment and 1t leaves the system in
a natural and healthy condition. 1t
counteracts any tendency toward
pneumonia. For sale by all druggists.
