Startling; but True
People the world over were horrified
on learning of the burning of a Chicago
theater in which nearly tlx hundred
people lost their lives, yet more than
five times this number or over
3,000 people died from pneumonia in
Chicago during the same year, with
scarcely a passing notice. Every one of
these case ol pneumonia resulted from
a cold and could have been prevented
by the timely use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. A great many who
had 'every reason to fear pneumonia
have warded it oir by the prompt use of
this remedy. The following is an in
stance of this sort: "Too much cannot
be said in favor ol Chamberlain's Couifh
Remedy, and esecially for colds and In
fluenza, I know that it cured my
daughter, Lanra, of a severe cold, and 1
believe saved her life when threatened
with pneumonia." W. D. Wilcox, Iav
