WHY Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordinary
colds and recovered from them without
treatment Of any kind, do not for mo-
ment imagine that colds are not dan
gerous. Everyone knows that pneu-
.monia and chronic catarrh have their
origin in q common cold. Consumption
is not caused by cold but the cold pre-
pares the system for the reception and
developments Of the germs that would
not otherwise have found lodgment.
IL is the same with infectious diseases.
Diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and
whooping cough are much more likely
to be contracted when the child has q
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 cold
is to take Chamberlain Cough Rem
dy. The many remarkable cures effect
ed by this preparation have made it a
staple article Of trade over a large part
Of the world. For sale by Kaufman
Drug 90.
