The first action when you have a
cold should be to relieve the lungs.
This is best accomplished by the free
use of Coamberlain's Cough Remedy.
This Remedy liquefies the tough mu-
Gus and causes it's expulsion from the
air cells of the lungs, produces a free
expectoration, and opens the secre-
tions. A complete cure soon follows.
