THE FORWARD VIEW. Then, let us live in hope and love and all That makes for something more than sorrows thrall; Unbowed, whatever rude mischances fall In the days that are to come.

Why Colds Are DANGEROUS.

Because you have contracted orJi
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind. do not
for moment imagine hat colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in a common cold. Con-
sumption is not caused by a cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found Judgment. 1t is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be con-
tracted when the child has cold.
You will see from this that more real
danger turks in cold than in any
other of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure a
cold is to take Chambe.lain's Cough
Remedy. The many remarkable cures
effected by this preparation have made
it staple article of trade over large
part of the world. For sale by all
druggists.

years ago my husband was troubled
with severe backaches and other symp-

were sometimes so severe as to force
me to stop work and come home, and
they gradually grew worse. None of
the remedies he took seemed to do
him any good and we were becoming
alarmed when he learned of Doans
Kidney Pills. He procured box and
found them to be as represented. AT
ter using them short time the pains
left him entirely and he became per
fectely well. He made a statement
at that time recommending Doan Aid
