DANGER SIGNAL.

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? It Is much the
same way with q cough. A cough
is a danger signal as much as a 6re
bell. You should no more try to
suppress it than to stop q dre bell
when 1t is ringing. but should cure
the disease that causes the coughing.
This can nearly always be done ~
taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Many have used 1t with the most
beneficial results. It is especially
valuable for persistent coughs that
so often follows a bad cold or an At
tack OF the grip. Mrs. Thomas
Beeching, Andrews. Ind, writes:
During the winter my husband
takes cold easily and coughs and
coughs. Chamberlain Cough REM
edy is the best medicine for beraking
up these attacks and you cannot
get him to take any other" OBJ
tainable everywhere.
