It is true that many contract colds and recover from themwithout taking any pre caution or treatment, and a knowledge of this fact leads others to take their chances instead of giving their colds the needj ed attention. It should be borne in mind that every cold weakens the lungs, lowers the vitality, makes the system less able to withstand eash succeeding cold and paves the way for more serious diseases. Can you afford to take such desperate chances when Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, fa mous for its cures of colds, can be had for a trifle? For. sale by Wight & Browne.
