How Catarrh Is Contracted.

Mothers are sometimes SO
thoughtless as to neglect the
colds which their children con-
tract. The inflammation 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 a life's burden. Many
persons who have this loathsome
disease will remember having
had frequent colds at the time it
was contracted. A little fore
thought, a bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy judiciously
used, and all this trouble might
have been avoided. Obtainable
everywhere.
