1t Is Dangerous To Neglect Cold

How often do we hear it remarked:
"It's only cold," and few days later
learn that the man is on his, back with
pneumonia. This is of such common oc-

should not be disregarded. Chamber

tendency of cold to result in pueumo-
mia, and has gained its great popularity
and extensive sale by its prompt cures OF
