Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of
the most dangerous diseases that medi-
cal men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from a cold or from an attack of
influenza grip, and it has been OBJ
served that this remedy counteracts any
tendency of these diseases toward pneu-
monia. This has been fully proven in
many thousands of cases in which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence OF colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from a slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until it is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever and difficulty
in breathing and pains in the chest,
then it is announced that the patient
has pneumonia. Be on the safe side
and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
as soon as cold is contracted. 1t al
WAYS cures. For sale by Richard
Gibson.
