CHAMBERLAlN'S
COUGH REMEDY

This well known remedy has been
on the market for one-third of cen
fury Starting from small beginning
it has grown lin favor and popularity
until the demand for ii often requires
shipments in carload lots. 1t Is now
on sale at almost every drug store
and most country cross road stores in
the United States. There Is no ques-
ton as TO its merits; in fact, the
enormous sale on it has ben brought
about to a large extent by the per
sonal recommendations of people who
have been cured by it. When you
use remedy for a cough or Geld and
find it far superior TO any other that
YOU have ever tried, it; is natural that
you should tell your friends of your
good fortune. 1t has become the
mothers favorite for coughs, colds
and group, as they found that it can
always be depended upon and that it
contains no opium or .otfier harmful
drugs During these years in which
we have been making, selling and US
ing the preparation We have never
known of a single case of "a cold re-
sulting in pneumonia when Chamber
jams Cough Remedy was used, which
lads us to believe that it is a certain
preventive of that disease. The fact
that it can be depended upon in every
case has crowned it with the sue
cess it enjoys.

DANGERS FROM GRIP.

An attack OF grip seldom results
fatally, but il is the indirect cause OF
many deaths. If it does not result In
which is frequently the
case, it leaves its victim with cough
which fingers on long after every
other symptom of the disease mas
vanished The system is thus left in
a weakened condition and is SuScepti-
Bile to almost every other disease.
The grip can be greatly lessened in
its severity if Chamberlain Cough
Remedy is used. and any tendency
toward pneumonia is promptly creek
ed. There is no medicine which has
met with greater success in the treat
ment of this disease. Ii cures the
cough and leaves the system in a
natural and healthy condition

HOW TO CURE
THE GRIP

Rest, warmth and quiet are the
tire sovereign remedies for this dis
ease and the best preventiveS Of its
secondary complications. Go TO bed
and remain in bed until well on the
way toward recovery. Two or three
days in bed when you first contract
the disease is better than two or two
or three weeks later on. Also take
"a double desc of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy 70 begin with and then
the regular dose every hour. If 1t
should nauseate, discontinue it until
the nausea subsidies and then take
it in smaller doses Or less frequently.
Before going 10 bed take two OF
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets and battle the feet in water
as warm as can he comfortably borne.
If the attack is severe one take
sulphate of quinine in doses of two
grains each, every four hours, for-a
few days. 1T will help up the vitality
and enable the system 10 Withstand

CAN GRIP BE
PREVENTED?

Sir William Broadbent, an eminent
English Physician, relates his exper-
fence in preventing the disease as fol-
lows: From the first invasion of in
fiuenza (grip) l have found that the
best remedy was quinine. have had
opportunities of OBJ aiming eXtraordi-
nary evidence of its protective power
In a large public school near London,
the girls and the mistFesses took their
morning dose of quinine, but the serV-
ants were forgotten The result was
that scarcely a girl Or mistress Suf-
fered. while the servants were all

Has Tampa got it? I'm afraid not.

THREAT OF GRIP
AND ITS DANGERS

THE increased mortality of the last
three weeks from lung affections fol-
lowing attacks of grip, emphasizes
more than ever the necessity for nurs-
ing an inititatory cold.
The Herald, always anxious con-
corning the public health, has repeat
edlv called attention to the dangers or
undue exposure during inclement
weather, and now reiterates the IN
junction with still more earneStness
in viow of HTesent conditions.
Most of the. fatal cases of pneuIho-
mia at this time of the year are due
to the lack of timely treatment OF
what appears to be a simple attack OF
bronchial catarrh. The taking OF the
stitch in time is at the bottom OF all
questions of prevention of other more
serious ones lying in wait for soill-
ton.
1t is well to take into account in
such connection that February and
March are generally considered the
most fatal months for pneumonia,
especially when influenza is prevailing
even in mild epidemic form.
Thus far we have escaped vista
ton of vfrulent form OF the latter
malady, but :,here is abundance of
time and opportunity for the develop
ment of a severe epidemic, with the
usual aftermath of alarming NOR
tally.
The effective treatment of an ordi-
nary cold is a matter of a day or two
against possible subsequent sick
ness for weeks.
The indications of a severe attack
of influenza are headache, chilliness,
general muscular pains. fever. sore
throat, cough and systemic lasSitude.
When these show themselves no time
is to be- lost and the patient should
give up work lat once and promptly
SCIace himself under proper medical
Care. New York Herald.

WHAT IS THE GRIP?
WHAT is ITS EFFECT?

These questions are best answered
by several eminent medical men in
published interviews. The most i'm
portant points emphasized by the ia
NOUS doctors are these:
Grip is highly infectious.
Grip stimulates other diseases.
Grip has an extraordinary effect on
the mental functions.
Grip picks out the weak points in
a persons constitution.
The victims of the grip are adults
who perish from pneumonia or bron-
chitis and the aged who sink from
heart exhaustion.
Children while prone TO the disease,
enjoy comparative immunity from
it's complications and dangers.
Grip shows decided. tendency 10
relapses, a feature to which the in
direct faculty Of the diseases is in a
great measure due.
Alcoholic stimulants' are not only
unnecessary but positively harmful.
An attack Of the grip seems to rem
der the individual more liable to con-
tract the disease from, future expo

The attack comes on with lightning
like speed. A person in apparently
perfect health. is suddenly overcome
by feeling of discomfort. He feels
chilly or shakes with the rigor worthy
of an ague. His head aches. There
