It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use- of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia al ways results from a cold or from an at- observed that this remedy counteract-! tack of Influenza (grip), and it has been any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in reecnt years, and can be relied upon with implicit confidence. , Pneumonia often results from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended ; until It is suddenly discovered that there is fever and difficulty In breathing and pains in the chest, then it Is announced that the patient has pneumonia.
