The tendency Of medical science ie
howard preventive measures. The
best Thought Of the world is being
given to the subject. It is easier
and better to prevent than to cure
It has been fully demonstrated that
pneumonia, one of the most danger
GUS diseases that medical men have
to contend with, can be prevented
by the use Of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. Pneumonia always results
from cold or from an attack of
influenza grip, and it has been
observed that this remedy counter
acts any tendency Of these diseases
toward pneumonia. 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 implicit
confidence. Pneumonia often results
from a slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until it is suddenly
discovered 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 the cold
is contracted It always cures. For
