The tendency Of medical science is
toward preventative measures. It 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
q cold or attack of the grip. The cold
prepares the system for the recep-
ton and development Of the pneumo-
MIA germ. The longer the cold hangs
on, the greater the danger. Take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon
as the first indication OF cold APP
pears so as to get rid of it with the
least possible delay. 1t is folly to
risk an attack of pneumonia when this
remedy may be obtained for trifle.
