Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.
Pneumonia 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 always
be called. It should be borne in mind,
however, that pneumonia always results
from a cold or from an attack of the grip,
and by the proper treatment of these dis
eases a threatened attack of pneumonia
may be warded off. There is no question
whatever about this, as during the thirty
years and more that Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy has been used, we have yet to
learn of a single case of a cold or attack
of the grip having resulted in pneumonia
when this remedy was used. It is also
used by physicians in the treatment of
pneumonia j. with the best results. Dr, W.
Smith, of Sanders, Ala., who is also a
druggists, says of it: “I have been selling
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and pre
scibing it in my practice for the past six
years. I use it in cases of pneumonia
and have always gotten the best results. y >
