DESPERATE CHANCES.

1t is true that many contract severe
colds and recover from them without
taking any precaution or treatment, and
a knowledge of this fact leads others to
take their chances instead of giving their
colds the needed attention. 1t should
be borne in mind that every cold weak
ems the ludgs, lowers the vitality, makes
the system less able to withstand each
succeeding attack and paves the way for
the more serious disease. Can you af-
ford to take such desperate chances
when Chamberlain Cough Remedy,
famous for it's cures of bad colds may be
had for a trife?
