How One Doctor Successfully Treats
Pneumonia.
"In ' treating pneumonia." says Dr.
W. J. Smith of Sanders, Ala., "the
only remedy I use for the lungs Is
Chamberlain's cough remedy. While,
of course, I would treat other symp
toms with different medicines. I have
used this remedy many times in my
medical practice and have yet failed to
find a case where It has not controlled
the trouble. I have used It myself, as
has also my wife for coughs and colds
repeatedly, and I most willingly and
cheerfully recommend It as superior
to any other cough remedy to my
knowledge." For sal by all good
dealers.
