Neglected Colds Threaten Life.
From the Clicngo Trihunr.)


Don't trifle with cold is
good advice for prudent men and
women. 1t may be vital in the
case of a child. Proper food,
good ventilation, and dry, warm
clothing are the proper safe
guards against colds. If they
are maintained through the
changeable weather of autumn.
winter and spring, the chances
of surprise from ordinary colds
will be slight. But the ordinary
light cold will become severe if
neglected, and a well established
ripe cold is to the germs of diph-
liberia what honey is to the bee.
The greatest menace to child life
at this season of the year is the
neglected cold" Whether it is
a child or adult, the cold slight
or severe, the very best remedy
that can be adopted is to give
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
1t is safe and sure. The great
