Dangers Of a Cold and How to
Avoid Them,

More fatalities have their origin in or
result from cold than from any other
cause. This fact alone should make, ,peo-
pie more careful as there is no danger
whatever from cold when it is properly
treated in the beginning. For many
years Chamb berlain's Cough Remedy has
been recognized as the most prompt and
effectual medicine in use for this disease.
It acts on natures plan, loos ms the
cough, relieves the lungs, opens the
secretions and aids nature in restoring
the system to a healthy condition. Sold
