Declare War ON Colds.

A crusade of education which aims
"that common colds may become I'M
common within the next generation"
has been begun by prominent New
York physicians. Here is list of
"dont's" which the doctors say will
prevent the annual visitation of the
cold:
"Don't sit in draughty car"
Don't sleep in hot rooms
"Don't avoid the fresh air"
Don't stuff yourself at meal tine
Overeating reduces your resistance"
To which we would add-When you
take a cold get rid of it as quickly as
possible. To accomplish this you will
find Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
most excellent. Sold by all dealers.
