proper,Treatment Of Pneumonia


Pneumonia is too dangerous disease
for anyoneito attempt to doctor himself
although he may have the proper reme-
dies at hand. A physician should al
ways be called. 1t should be borne in
in mind, however, that pneumonia al
ways results from cold or from an at
tack of the grip, and by the proper treat
ment of these diseases threatened
attack of pneumonia may be warded off.
There is no question whatever about
this, as during the thirty years and more
that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
been used, we have yet to learn of a
single case Of cold or attack of the grip
having resulted in pneumonia when this
remedy was used. 1t is also used by
physicians in the treatment of pneu-
monia with the best results. DIR. w. J.

independently working gangs allow the greater
