Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordinary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not for a moment imag- inc that 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 develop ment of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodg- ment. It Is the same with all infectious diseases. Diptheria, scarlet fever, measles and whoop- ing cough are much more likely to be contracted when the child has a cold. You will see from this that nore real danger turks in cold than in any other of the common ailments. The quickest and easiest way to cure d cold Is to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The many remarkable cures effected by this preparation have made 1t staple article of trade over q large part of the world. For sale by all druggists.
 Success never comes to the man who IS satisfied with any thing else.
