Do Not Crowd the Season.

The first warm days of spring bring with them a desire to get out and enjoy the collaborating air and sunshine. Children that have been housed up all winter are brought out and you won der where they all came from. The heavy winter clothing Is thrown aside and many shed their fannels. Then a cold wave comes and people say that grip is epidemic. Colds are even more dangerous at this season than in mid winter, as there is much more danger of pneumonia. Take Chamberlain s Cough Remedy, however, and you will have nothing to fear. It always cures, and we have never known a cold to result in pneumonia when it was used. It is pleasant to take.
