Preventative Medicine.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, often follows
a cold or attack of the grip. The cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the pneumonia
germ. The longer the cold hangs OH,
the greater the danger. Take Cham
berlaIn's Cough Remedy as soon as
the first indication of cold appears
so as to get rid of it with the least
possible delay. 1t is folly to risk an
attack Of pneumonia when this rem
edy may be obtained for trifle.
