Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.
Pheumonia is too dangerous a disease
for anyone to attempt to doctor himself,
although he may have the proper reme­
dies at hand. A physician should al ways
be called. It should be bore in mind, J

and that by giving Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy the threatened attack of pnenu-,
monia may be warded off. This remedy
is also used by physicians in the treat- j
inent of pneumonia with the liest results.
Dr. W. J. Smith, of Sanders, Aia., who is
also a drungist, says of it: “I have been |
selling Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
and prescribing it in my practice for the
past six years. I use it in cases of pneu­
monia and have al ways gotten the best
results.” Sold by City Drug Store.
