When You Have a Cold.
The first action when you have a
cold should be to relive the lungs.
This is best accomplished by the
free use of Chamberlain’s Cough;
Remedy. This Remedy liquefies
the tough mucus and causes its
expulsion from the air cells of thei
lungs, produces a free expectora
tion, and opens the secretions. A
complete cure soon follows, This
remedy will cure a severe cold in
less time than aiiy other treat
ment and it leaves the system in
r
a natural and healthy condition.
It counteracts any tendency to
ward pneumonia. For sale bv

the Messenger enters a plea for
a clean, honorable and merito
rious campaign throughout, free
from the filth and dishonorable
methods which have character

history of some Georgia coun

merit and let the people decide.
When this kind of nian gets of -
