Dangers From Grip.

An attack of grip seldom results
fatally, but it is the indirict cause
of many deaths. If it does not re-
suit in pneumonia, which is fre-
quently the case, it leaves its vic
tim with cough which fingers on
long after every other symptom of
the disease has vanished. The
system is thus left in a weakened
condition and is susceptible to al
most every other disease. The
grip can be greatly lessened in it's
severity if Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is used, and any tendency
toward pneumonia is promptly
checked. There is no medicine
which has met with greater sue
cess in the treatment of this dis
ease. 1t cures the cough and
leaves the system in natural and
healthy condition. For sale by
