Proper Treatment OF Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease for
anYoneto attempt to doctor himself, although
he may have tht proper remedies 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 Civ
ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the
threatened attack of pneumonia may be
warded of. This rene dy is also used by
physicians in the trea ment of pneumonia
with the best results. DR.. ". j. Smith, OF
Sanders, Ala, who is also a druggist, says
Of it: I have been selling Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and prescribing it in my
