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 by Summerville Drug Co. FOIEnnONEWAF u*‘*»B tH* and healit The Chinese.
