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. A cough is danger sig
nal as much as fire bell. You should
no more try to suppress it than to stop
a fire bell when it is ringing, but should
cure the disease that causes the cough
ing. This can nearly always be done
by taking Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
Many have used it with most beneficial
results. 1t is especially valuable for the
persistant cough that so often follows a
bad cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs.
Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind,
writes: During the winter my husband
takes cold easily and coughs and coughs.
