How To Break Up A Cold.

1t may be a surprise to many to learn
that a severe cold can be completely
broken up in one or two days time.
To do this. however, prompt action is
necessary. The first symptoms are a
dry. loud cough. n profuse watery dis
charge from the nose, and a thin. white
coating on the tongue When Cham
berlain's cough remedy is taken every
hour on the first appearance of these
symptoms. it counteracts the effect of
the cold and restores the system to a
healthy condition within day or two.
