fury. Starting from a sman beginning
it has grown in favor and popularity
until The demand for it often requires
shipments in carload lots. 1t is now

about to large extent by the perso

have been cured by it, When you

Dangers From
Grip

An attack of grip seldom results
fatally, but it is the indirect cause of
many deaths. If it does not result in
pneumonia, which is frequently the
case, it leaves its victim with cough
which fingers on long after every
other symptom of the disease has van
ished. The system is thus left in a
weakened condition and is susceptible
TO almost every other disease. The
grip can be greatly lessened in its
severity if Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy is used, and any tendency toward
pneumonia is promptly checked There
is no medicine which has met with
greater success in the treatment OF
this disease. 1t cures the cough and
leaves the system in a natural and
healthy condition.

Threat of Grip
and It's Dangers

The increased mortality of the last
three weeks from lung affections fol-
lowing attacks of grip, emphasizes
more than ever the necessity for nurs-
ing an initiatory cold.
The Herald, always anxious con-
corning the public health, has repeat
eddy called attention to the dangers of
undue exposure during inclement
weather, and now reiterates the in
junction with still more earnestness in
view of present conditions.
Most of the fatal cases of pneumo-
MIA at this time of the year are due to
the lack of timely treatment of what
appears to be simple attack OF bron-
chial catarrh. The taking of the
stitch in time is at the bottom of all
questions of prevention of other more
serious ones lying in wait for solution.
1t is well to take into account i'll
such connection that February and
March are generally considered the
most fatal months for pneumonia,
especially when influence is prevailing
even in mild epidemic form.
Thus far we have escaped a vista
ton of virulent form of the latter
malady, but there is abundance of time
and opportunity for the development
of severe epidemic, with the usual
aftermath of alarming mortality.
The effective treatment OF an ordi.
nary cold is a matter of day or two
against a possible subsequent sickness
for weeks.
The indications of severe attack
of influenza are headache. chilliness
general muscular pains, fever, sore
throat, cough and systemic lassitude
When these show themselves no time
is to be lost and the patient should
give up work at once and promptly
place himself under proper medical
care.''-New York Herald.

What is the Grip?
What iSitSEffeCt?

These questions are best answered
by several eminent medical men in
published interviews. The most i'm
portant points emphasized by the fam.
our 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 a
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 its
complications and dangers.
Grip shows a decided tendency to
relapses, a feature to which the indi-
rect faculty of the disease is in great
measure due.
Alcoholic stimulates are not only un.
necessary but positively harmful.
An attack of tie grip seems to rem.
| der the individual more liable to con
| tract the disease from future expo
sure.
The attack comes on with lightning
| like speed. A person in apparently
perfect health is suddenly overcome
| by a feeling of discomfort. He feels
chilly or shakes with the rigor worthy
of an ague. His head aches. There
are pains in his eyeballs and other
symptoms characteristic of the disease
soon follow.

Great Physical
and
Mental :. Agony

Before we can symphathize with
others, We must have suffered our
selves" No one can realize the suf-
fering attendant upon an attack of
the grip, unless he has had the actual
experience. There is probably no dis
ease that causes so much physical and
mental agony, or which so successfully
defies medical aid All danger from the
grip, however, may be avoided by the
Remedy. Among the tens of thou.
sands who have used this remedy. not
one case has ever been reported that
has resulted in pneumonia or that has
not recovered.

Colonel Cornelius p. Cole, well

Appanoose county, Iowa, now past
seventy years of age, who came to

says: Myself and wife were both
soundly cured of severe and stubborn
attacks of grip last winter by using
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t is
a wonderful remedy and we never wish
to be without it, The greatest danger
of the grip is of it resulting in pneu-
monia. We have never known this to
occur in anyycase when Chamberlain

certainly remarkable record, as many
