Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

ttUpVi liVot'HSht VI hSehou'os
Pneumonia is too dangerous a
disease for anyone to attempt to
doctor himself, although he may have
the proper remedies at hand. A ply
sician 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 3
Cough Remedy the threatened attack
of pneumonia may be warded off.
This remedy is also used by physi-
clans in the treatment of pneumonia
with the best results. DR.. ". j.
Smith, of Sanders, Ala, who is also a
druggist, says of it: Il have been
selling Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and prescribed it in my practice for
the past six yesrs. l use it in cases
of pneumonia and have always gotten
the best results" Sold by The

causing pneumonia, is that of Mrs.

"The coughing and straining so weak

Four bottles of this wonderful remedy
cured me entirely of the cough,
strengthened my lungs and restored
me to my normal weight, health and
strength" Sold by all druggists.
