Proper treatment Of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous disease
for anyone to attempt to doctor himself,
although he may have the proper RENE
dies at hand. A physician should always
be called. 1t should be borne in mind,
however, that pneumonia always results
from a cold or from an attack OF the grip,
and that by giving Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy the threatened attack OF pneu-
monia may be warded of. This remedy
is also used by physicians in the treat
ment Of pneumonia with the best results.
DR.. w. j. Smith, OF Sanders, Ala, who
is also druggist, says OF it: II have
been selling Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy and prescribing it in my practice for
the past six years. used 1t in cases OF
pneumonia and have always gotten the
best results" Sold by o. r. Long.
