WHAT is THE GRIP?
WHAT is ITS EFFECT?

These questions are best answered
by several eminent medical men in
published interviews The most inn
portant points emphasized by the fam
GUS 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 n
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,
complications and dangers.
Grip shows decided tendency 10
retapses feature to which the indi-
rect faculty Of the disease 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

CHAMBERLAIN'S
COUGH REMEDY

This well known remedy has been
on the market for one-third of CEN
fury. Starting from a small beginning
it has grown in favor ana popularity
until the demand for it 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 dues-
ton as to its merits; in fact, the enor-
nous sale on it has been brought
about to large extent by the per-
sonal recommendation of people who
have been cured by it. When you use
a remedy for cough or a cold and
find it far superior to any other that
YOU have ever tried, 1t is natural that
Won should tell your friends of youl
good fortune. 1t has become the MOTH
ers' favorite for coughs, colds ana
Group, as they found that it can al
ways be depended upon and that 1t
contains no opium or other harmful
drugs. During these years in which
we have ,een making, selling and us
ing this preparation we have never
known Of a single case of a cold re-
sulting in pneumonia when Chamber
lain S Cough Remedy was used which
leads us to believe that it Is certain
preventive Of that disease. The fact
that it can be depended upon in every
case has crowned it with the success
it enjoys.
