Having happened in a small Vir¬
ginia town in the winter of 19(12,
it is a story very much of the
present. Up to a very short time
ago 31rs. Julm E. Hannon, of
Melfa Station, Va., had no per¬
sonal knowledge of the rare cura
live properties of Chamberlain’s
Congli remedy. “Last January,”
she says, “my baby took a dread-
ful cold and at one time I feared
she would have pneumonia, but
one of inv neighbors told me how
this remedy had cured her little
boy and began giving it to my ba¬
by at once and it soon cured her.
I heartily thank, the manufactur¬

edy for placing so great a cure
within my reach. I hope all
who read this will try this reme-
dy and be convinced as I was.”

Pit was played. To render that
exciting game more interesting a
pretty dish of violet colored bon
bans was placed in the center of
each table. The score cards with
bows of violet ribbon were beauti-

vase, was tied for tiy Mrs. Cleve
Huffman, of Birmingham, and
Miss Mary Newell, of MiHedge-

The game was then removed and

refreshments.
The refreshments were grace-

Cook. The fair hostess already
bears the distinction of being a
most delightful entertainer and
this occasion adds lresli laurels.
Mrs. Huffman, Alise Newell and
Miss Whittiker were very
welcome visitors and added much
to the pleasure of the evening.
The club was very glad to add the
names of Mrs. C. Morris, Miss
Floreno Morris and Aliss Li live

This club at Haddock affords n

How often you hear it remark¬

days later learn that the man is
on Ins buck with pneumonia. This
is of such common
theta cold, howeuerslight, should
not be disregarded. Chamber-

any tendency toward pneumonia.
