DANCERS Of the Grip.

An attack of grip seldom results
fatally, but 1t is the indirect cause of
many deaths. II It does not result in
pneumonia, which is frequently the
case, it leaves its victim with a
cough which fingers on long after
every other symptom of the disease
has vanished. The system is thus left
in weakened condition and is sus
ceptible to almost every other dis
ease. The grip can be greatly lessen
ed in its severity if Chamberlain 5
Cough Remedy is used, and any tend
ency toward pneumonia is promptly
checked. There is no medicine which
mas met with greater success in the
treatment of this disease. 1t cures
the cough and leaves the system in a
natural and healthy condition. For
