STARTLING BUT TRUE.

People the world over were mortified on learning of the burning of Chica 20 theater in which nearly six hundred people lost their lives, yet more than five times this number, or over 3,Ooe people died from pneumonia in Chica go during the same year, with scarce, ly a passing notice. Every one oi these cases of pneumonia resulted from a cold. and could have been pre- vented by the timely use of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. A great many who had every reason to fear pneumo, mia have warded it off by the prompt use of this remedy. The following is an instance of this sort: "Too much can not be said in favor of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy, and especially for colds and influenza know that il cured my daughter, Laura, of se' were cold, and I believe saved her life when she was threatened with pneu- monia-" w.
