Do Not Crowd the Season.

The first warm days of spring bring
with them desire to get out and
enjoy the sunshine. Children that
have been housed up all winter are
brought out and you wonder where
they all came from. The heavy winter
clothing is thrown aside> and many
shed their flannels. Then a cold wave
comes and people say that grip is cpl
demic. Colds at this season are even
more dangerous than in mid-winter. as
there is much more danger of pneu-
monia. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, however, and you will have
nothing TO fear. 1t always cure, and
we have never known cold TO re-
suit in pneumonia when it is used. 1t
is pleasant and safe to take. Children
like it. For sale by all druggists.
