Neglected Colds Threaten Life.
From the Chicago Tribune.
'"Don't trifle with a cold,' is good
advice for prudent men and women.
It may be vital in the case of a child.
Proper food, good ventilation, and dry,
warm clothing are the proper safe
guards against colds. If they are
maintained through the changeable
weather of autumn, winter and spring,
the chances of a surprise from or
dinary colds will be slight. But the
ordinary light cold will become severe
if neglected, and a well established
ripe cold is to the germs of dlpththe
ria what honey is to the bee. The
greatest menace to child life at this
season of the year is the neglected
cold." Whether it is a child or adult,
the cold slight or severe, the very best
treatment that can be adopted Is to
gve Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
It is safe and sure. The great popu
larity, and immense sale of this prep
aration has been attained by its re
markable cures of this ailment A
cold never results In pneumonia when
it is given. For sale by Howell &
Jones.
