How Diphtheria is Contracted.

One often hears the expression,
my child caught severe cold which
developed into diphtheria," when the
truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one particularly sus-
ceptible to the wandering diphtheria
germ. If your child has cold when
diphtheria is prevalent you should
take him out of school and keep him
off the street until fully recovered,
as there is a hundred times more
danger of his taking diphtheria when
he has cold. When Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is given it quickly
cures the cold and lessons the danger
of diphtheria or any other germ dis
ease being contracted.-(Adv.)

The difference Of d few cents IN

it is regarded as high. But the aver yer.
