A Common Cold.

We claim that If catching cold could ne
avoided some of the most dangerous and
fatal diseases would never be heard of. A
cold often forms . culture bed for germs OF
infectious diseases. Consumption, pneu-
monia, diphtheria and scarlet fever, four Of
the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are OF
this class. The culture bed forned by the
cold fayors the development of the germs Of
these diseases, that would not otherwise find
Judgment. There is little danger, however,
Of any Of these diseases being contracted
when . good sxpsctorant cough medicine
like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy il used.
Il cleans out these culture beds that favor
the development of the germs of these dis
eases. That Is why this remedy has proved
20 universally succsssfui in preventing Pneu-
monia. 1t not only cures your cold quickly,
but minimizes the risk of contracting these
