Dangers From Grip

An attack Of grip seldom results IA
tally, but it is the indirect cause OF
many deaths. II II does not result IN
pneumonia, which is frequently the
case. IL leaves its victim with a 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 almost
every other disease. The grip can be
greatly lessened in its severity il
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used
and any tendency toward pneumonia
Is promptly checked. There is no
medicine which has met with greater
success in the treatment OF this dis
ease. It cures the cough and leaves
the system ia q natural and healthy
condition.
