Why Colds Are DANGEROUS.

Because you have contracted orJi
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do not
for q moment imagine hat colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in a common cold Con
sumption is not caused by cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found Judgment. 1t is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be con
tracted when the child has cold
You will see from this that more rea
danger turks in a cold than in any
other of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure {
cold is to take Chambe:lain's Cough
Remedy. The many remarkable cure:
effected by this preparation have made
