claimed) some of their inhabitants

best known case is the destruction OF

Getting Rid of Colds.

The easiest and quickest way to get
rid of cold is to take Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use for many years and its
value fully proven. No matter what
remedy you use, however, care must
be taken not to contract second cold
before you have recovered from the
first one, and there is serious danger
of this. A man of middle age or older
should go to bed and stay in bed until
fully recovered. 1t is better TO stay III
bed three days at the start than three
weeks later on.
