Somebody has declared that when
people learn to treat slight ailments
themselves, there will be much less
sickness. Most diseases have their or
igin in some minor ailnent, and whom
that is properly treated the more SER
ious diseases may be avoided. This is
particularly true of throat and lung
troubles Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and give every cold the at
tention it deserves and you will be
able to avoid some of the more SER
ious diseases that afflict mankind
Inis remedy has been in use for many
