will lead some other country to de-

How Catarrh is Contracted

Mothers are sometimes SO thought
less as to neglect the colds which
their children contract. The infam-
nation of the mucus membrane, at
first acute, becomes chronic and the
child has chronic catarrh. a disease
that is seldom cured and that may
prove life's burden. Many persons
who-have this loathsome disease will
remember having had frequent colds
at the time it was contracted. A lit
tie forethought, a bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy judiciously
used, and all this trouble might have
been avoided. Obtainable every
where.
