DANGER SIGNAL

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with a cough cough is dan
ger signal as much as fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop fire bell when it is ringing,
but should cure the disease that caus-
es the coughing. This can nearly al
ways be done by taking Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. Many have used it
with the most beneficial results. It
is especially valuable for the persist
ent cough that so often follows bad
cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs
Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind,
