Danger of Cold and Grip.
Tbe greatest danger from colds aud
grip la their resulting In pneumonia.
1 f reasonable care isueed, however,
aid Chamberlain's Cougb Itemed y
taken, all danger will be avoided.
Among tbe teua of thousands who
have used tbia remedy for these die
eaaea we have yet to learn of a single
caiwt having resulted in pneumonia,
which abowe conclusively that it is a
certain preventive of that dangerous
dlsense. It will cure a cold or au at
tack of the grip In Ice time than any
other treatment. It is pleasant ft ml
aafeto take. Kor sale by Klrkland.
