How Colds Are Contracted and
Proper Treatment

a An acute catarrh, that Is a cold, is always
the result of undue exposure % low temper
atures- The rapid cooling of the surface,
when not balanced by proper reaction, pro-
duces congestion and inflammation of the
nasal and bronchial membranes Obviously
such an Silment IS not communicable, IN the
ordinary sense from one individual TO an
other. As the slightest cold" predisposes
the individual 70 attacks of the most severe
and dangerous Catarrhal affections, the ne
cessity for itsquick cure need not be enforced.
These facts emphasize the necessity Of extra
precautionary measures against the ordinary
cold Everyone cannot change his climate

has at home, viz, take ChanberIain's Cough
Remedy IS soon as the first indication fthe
cold appears 1t not only cures a cold quickly
but counteracts any tendency of the cold to
result in pneumonia. This fact has been
fully proven during the epidemios of colds
and grip Of the past few years. No case OF
either OF these diseases having resulted in
pneumonia when this remedy was used has
ever been reported to the manufacturers, and
thousands of bottles % Il are sold every dsv,
which shows conclusively that it is not only
the best and quickest cure for colds, but
certain preventive Of that dangerous disease,
