Danger of a Cold and How to Avoid
Tkut
More fatalities have their origin in |
or result from a cola than from any i
other cause. This fact alone should
make people more careful as there is no
u anger whatever from a cold when it is
properly treated in the beginning. For
many years Chamberlain's Cough Re
medy has been recogniztd as the most
prompt and efiectual medicine in use
for this disease. It sets on nature's j
plan, loosens the cough, relieve the
lungs, opens the secretions and aids i
nature in restoring the system to a
healthy coadition. Sold byWm. Brittl
