Them.

More fatalities have their origin in
or result from a cold than from any
other cause. This fact should make
people more careful as there is no
danger whatever from a cold when it is
properly treated in the beginning. For
many years Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy has been recognized as the most
prompt and effectual medicine in use
for this disease. 1t acts on natures
plan. loosens the cough. relieves the
lungs, opens the secretions and aids
nature in restoring the system to a

The Grip.

Before we can sympathiZe with
others. we must have suffered our
selves" No one can realize the suffer
ing attendant upon an attack of the
grip. unless he has had the actual ex
perience. There is probably no dis
ease that causes so much physical and
mental agony. or which so successfully
defies medical aid. All danger from
the grip, however, may be avoided by
the prompt use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Among the tens of thousands
who have used this remedy, not one
case has ever been reported that has
resulted in pneumonia or that has not
recovered. For sale by all leading
druggists.
