A Common Cold
We claim that if catching cold
could be avoided some of the most
dangerous and fatal diseases owuld
never be heard of. A cold often forms
a culture bed for germs of infectious
diseases. Consumption, pneumonia,
diptheria and Scarlet fever, four of
the most dangerous and fatal diseasei
are of this class. The culture bed
formed by the cold favors the devel
opment of the germs of these diseas
es, that would not otherwise find lod
gement. There is little danger,
however of any of these diseases be
ing contracted when a good expector
ant cough remedy like Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy is used. It cleans out
these culture beds that favor the de
velopmet of the germs o fthese dis
eases. That is why this remedy has
proved so universally successful in
preventing pneumonia.
It not only cures your cold quickly,
but minimizes the risk of contracting
these dangerous diseases. For sale

The Chinese.
The Chinese invented printing,
they invented gunpowder, they in
vented the mariner’s compass.
The farmers of China were the
first to hatch eggs by means of in
cubators, and the fishermen of Chi
na were the first to hatch fish spawn
artificially. Artesian wells are of
Chinese origin.
The penal code of China is thou
sands of years old, and thousands of
years old” is the Chinese civil serv
ice examination that western civ
ilization has at last adopted.
When George Washington’s an
cestors wandered in the wet, cold
weeds of Britain, their naked and
shivering chests painted blue, the
Chinaman, dressed in splendid silks,
lounged in a palace, on a chair of
carved teakwood and marble, read
ing philosophy and drinking from
cups of painted porcelain tea of ex
quisite flavor.
Left Till Called For.
When Wilkinson went to his of
fice one day last week he felt calm
and contented. He hadn’t any need
to worry about his wife’s loneliness
any more, for he had bought a capi
tal watchdog for her.
But, alas, when he arrived home
his wife met him with the deplora
ble news that the dog had gone.
“Eh!” said Wilkinson. “Did he
break the chain, then ?”
“No,” she replied, “but a great,
ugly looking tramp came here and
acted so impudently that I let the
dog loose. But instead of tearing
the tramp to pieces the nasty dog
went off with him.”
“Great Scott!” said Wilkinson.
“That must have been the tramp I
bought him from!”—London Ex
press.
A Peculiar Couple.
Conversation had turned to the
subject of two men, utterly dissim
ilar, who nevertheless roomed to
gether. One of these men was gen
erally conceded to be a “freak.” His
name was John.
“John and Jim are certainly a
queer pair,” opined somebody.
“John and anybody are a queer
pair,” opined somebody else.
Poor John! —Exchange.
