Rank Eoolishness,

You occasionally see 1T stated that
colds do not result from cold weather.
That is rank foolishness. Were it
true colds would be as prevalent in
midsummer as in midwinter. The
microbe that causes colds fourishes
in damp, cold weather. To get rid of
cold take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It is efYectual and is highly
recommended by people who have
used it for many years as occasion re-
