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 cough. A cough is
a danger signal as much as fire
bell. You should no more try to
suppress 1t than stop a fire bell when
1t is ringing, but should cure the dis
ease that causes the coughing. This
can nearly always be done by taking
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Manv
have used it with the most beneficial
results. 1t is especially valuable for
the persistent cough that so often
ioilows a bad cold or an attack of
the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching
Andrews, Ind, writes: During the
winter my husband takes cold easily
ana coughs and coughs. Chamber
iain's Cough Remedy is the best
medicine Tor breaking up these at
tacks and you cannot get him to
take any other" Obtainable every-
where.
